Ringkasan program

This program is appropriate preparation for advanced training or careers in anthropology, allied fields, and professional programs. Students who complete anthropology major gain special understanding of human relations and expertise for jobs involving international or cross-cultural work, cultural resource management, and social and ethnic diversity in the United States. Upon graduation, anthropology majors embark on careers in government work, international affairs, public health, gerontology, urban and regional planning, conservation, social work, marketing, museum work, and education. Others pursue graduate study in law, business, and health care as well as anthropology and related social science disciplines. Some are employed in cultural resource management. The interaction between humans and the environments they inhabit has long been a central issue in anthropology, and environmental degradation is a worldwide concern today. Pollution, loss of biodiversity, and global warming recognize no political boundaries, but attitudes and behaviors involving the natural environment vary widely from culture to culture. Understanding and incorporation of these varied perspectives will be vital to the development and successful use of workable solutions. The environmental anthropology emphasis requires five courses (15 s.h.): two theory courses, which deal primarily with human-environmental interactions; and three area or topical electives, which deal in part with environment, ecology, and subsistence technologies. The following are sample courses in each area.
