A major or minor in anthropology can provide a valuable perspective in helping you understand human behavior. In an increasingly interdependent and multicultural world, people who understand the role of culture, past and present, can expect to be more effective citizens, neighbors, and leaders.
The B.A. degree in anthropology has many advantages to offer. It can prepare one
for graduate study and thus be the first step in a career as an anthropologist.
Professional anthropologists typically earn a postgraduate degree, which
qualifies them to work not only in traditional fields of university and museum
teaching and research, but also in many "applied" fields -- including the
National Park Service, development agencies, health and immigration services,
education, and even private corporations. Furthermore, there are thousands of
people in careers as diverse as international business, nursing, and banking,
who say that the skills and perspectives they learned as anthropology majors
have helped them succeed.
