Key Summary

    About: The Bachelor in Anthropology offers a comprehensive exploration of human societies, cultures, and evolution. This program aims to provide students with a unique understanding of human behavior through diverse methodologies and frameworks in anthropology. Courses cover various topics, enabling students to engage critically with cultural practices and societal structures worldwide.
    Career Outcomes: Graduates can pursue careers in fields such as cultural resource management, social services, education, and research. Opportunities may also arise in governmental and non-governmental organizations, international development, and museum studies.

The discipline is traditionally divided into cultural anthropology, linguistic anthropology, biological (or physical) anthropology, and archaeology. Of these, we emphasize cultural and linguistic anthropology here at Reed. Cultural and linguistic anthropology explore the astonishing range and variability of human practices past and present, paying particular attention to language, race, gender, sexuality, class, and (trans)nationalisms and providing frameworks for contextualizing and analyzing them.
