BA Anthropology

Passionate about learning all aspects of what it means to be human, anthropologists study the cultural and biological diversity in people as well as the interactions between human culture and biology.

As an Anthropology major at MSU Denver, you will experience a holistic education that encompasses Anthropology’s four traditional subfields: Cultural Anthropology, Biological Anthropology, Linguistic Anthropology and Archaeology. You can specialize in one or more of these four primary areas with your upper-division coursework. Plus you will learn conceptual and methodological tools for observing and studying the culture and biology of ancient and modern humans.

Your MSU Denver Anthropology education will also transcend the boundaries of the classroom. MSU Denver students have the opportunity to participate in local field-based experiences, study abroad in countries such as Japan and Italy and conduct research in partnership with professors. Numerous Anthropology students present their work at MSU Denver’s Undergraduate Research Conference and other local and national professional meetings.
