Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology

The Anthropology program, which centres on cultural and linguistic anthropology, gives students a competitive advantage in future pursuits by affording a unique insight into the many factors that determine who we are and influence how we live.

Stonehill College’s focus on cultural anthropology helps students gain the skills to understand and appreciate the human culture and study how people understand, organize, preserve and transform their social worlds. The theoretical lens and anthropology methodologies centre around dialogues with populations of concern, taking their culture into account and respecting their human and cultural rights.

The program aims to enhance students’ ability to thrive in an increasingly interconnected and globalized world by offering them an important critical framework for assessing the needs and appreciating diverse communities' values and interests.

Interdisciplinary in nature, anthropology complements several College programs, including foreign languages, international business, healthcare administration, political science, arts administration, environmental studies and history.
