Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Anthropology] From George Washington University

Sociocultural anthropology examines the role culture plays in shaping human action. Linguistic anthropology considers the role of language in human thought. And archaeology examines both human origins and more recent issues of state formation and urbanization. In our teaching and research, we collaborate with the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of Natural History, as well as departments within the university.The program offers a Bachelor of Science in Biological Anthropology and minors in general anthropology, archaeology, biological anthropology, sociocultural anthropology and cross-cultural communication. We also offer a B.A. in archaeology jointly with the classics, art history and history programs.

Students who major in anthropology learn about human origins and anatomy, the broad range of approaches to gender, social class and race, material culture and linguistic variation.

The Anthropology program is offered at George Washington University.
