- Miami University’s curriculum is designed to foster student curiosity in the field, with over 30 upper level courses so that students can dive deep into their own interests in topics like artifact management, medicine, narrative, politics, primate behavior, and religion, or into world regions like Latin America, Native America, South Asia or the Middle East. Students also gain holistic training in the discipline with core courses that include labs to build skills in each of anthropology's four sub-fields:
- Archaeology which explores human societies' past and present. Through survey and excavation, material science, and cultural traditions, archaeologists piece together how the past informs humanity's present.
- Socio-cultural anthropology which studies and compares what people do, why and how they do things, what meaning they give to their actions, and what structural conditions shape local practices. Sociocultural anthropologists use ethnography and mixed methods in order to better understand and appreciate human diversity.
- Biological anthropology investigates how evolutionary processes and environmental contexts affect the human body and its possibilities. It notably includes primatology, the study of non-human primates. Biological anthropologists examine anatomical, physiological, and behavioral variation to better understand human evolutionary heritage and potential.
- Linguistic anthropology examines language and communicative practices as central to human coordination and interaction. Linguistic anthropologists detail how communicative practices within cultural settings define and narrate central human concerns with processes such as identity, power, and social change.
