What is anthropology?
Anthropology is the study of human and non-human primates biologically, socially, and culturally at all times and in all places. Anthropology has four major areas of study: archaeology, biological anthropology, cultural anthropology, and linguistic anthropology. It is through the investigation of each of these areas, and their influence on each other, that anthropologists attempt to holistically understand human cultural and physical diversity and their continuous adaption to the environment.
What can I do with a Bachelor’s Degree in Anthropology?
Students who major in Anthropology gain knowledge and skills in participant observation data collection, interviewing techniques, object recognition and cataloging, data analysis, cognitive mapping and cross-cultural communication that can be applied to a wide variety of careers. For example, anthropologists become archaeologists, forensic specialists, primatologists, linguists, professors, consultants, researchers/project managers for social, health and economic studies, advocates for indigenous people, curators of museums, urban planners, park naturalists, park rangers, historians, social workers, lawyers, journalists, etc. For more, please visit http://www.shoreline.edu/counseling-center/career-counseling.aspx.
