Anthropology

Anthropology investigates issues such as human evolution, origins of civilization, gender, ethnic relations, social institutions, medical anthropology, and the impact of the modern world on human societies everywhere. Sociocultural anthropology is a good foundation for careers with an international focus as well as those such as education, medicine and business, which require an understanding of human cultural behavior. Biological anthropology provides background for work in zoology, conservation and public health venues. Archaeological anthropology is particularly useful for historical and cultural approaches to institutions.
