The Department of Anthropology provides a curriculum that educates students about the history of past peoples and the role of social organization on human interaction. Its faculty equip students with analytical and communication skills that enable them to investigate past and present human cultures and societies and to communicate their findings logically, scientifically and effectively. The Department offers major and minor programs for the disciplines of History, Sociology, and Anthropology, and interdisciplinary minors in Ethnic Studies, Sustainability Studies, and Women and Gender Studies; it also supports History Teaching and Social Science Composite Degrees for secondary teaching certification. Anthropology The Anthropology program has two principle goals: To prepare students interested in pursuing graduate work in anthropology or professional degrees in the related fields of international business, criminology, education, medicine, and law; To provide an interesting and rigorous course of study for students seeking to understand the human cultural and biological experience through time and space. Students pursuing Anthropology at SUU will be exposed to a four field approach that emphasizes Anthropology’s dominant sub-disciplines: archaeology, cultural anthropology, linguistics, and biological anthropology. They will master a broad range of research, critical reasoning, and oral and written communication skills designed to prepare them for life and work in an increasingly multi-cultural world. Through courses dealing with human evolution, prehistoric culture change, linguistics, and the cultural and biological diversity of contemporary humans, students will be taught to question and examine the significance of ethnocentric beliefs, attitudes, and prejudices and to understand the incredible biological and cultural diversity that characterizes the human species. A minor in Anthropology supplements existing SUU major programs in Biology, Criminal Justice, Languages, History, Geography, Outdoor Recreation, Psychology, and Sociology.
