Academic Course Map for Anthropology (B.A.)


  Program Overview

Students in the Bachelor of Arts degree in Anthropology (ANTH) at CU Â鶹ӰԺ study humans and our biological relatives across time and space. Anthropology is the only field to address the diversity of the human experience in its biological, cultural and historical contexts. The diversity of anthropology is the source of both its uniqueness and its greatest strength as a discipline. It provides both a broad vision of what it is to be human as well as creative synergies unavailable to other disciplines within the human sciences and humanities.

Anthropologists get to ask and answer the big questions about humanity: Who are we? Where do we come from? Where are we going? If these questions—and many other questions about humanity interest you, study anthropology! The Department of Anthropology at CU Â鶹ӰԺ provides many opportunities for student involvement like the Anthropology Club, a summer archaeological field school, internships, research with faculty, teaching opportunities, studying abroad, and a thriving departmental honors program.


Admission Requirements

Students who begin at a Colorado Community College can transfer directly to CU Â鶹ӰԺ to finish their degree in any of the programs offered by the College of Arts and Sciences. Please see the CU Â鶹ӰԺ College of Arts & Sciences’ Colorado Community College webpage for more information detailed information admissions requirements for students transfering from a Colorado Community College.
