Anthropology, BA

The Bachelor of Anthropology program furthers students’ understanding of the human past and present through examination of cultural, biological, and environmental contexts. Students will learn the methods and theoretical underpinnings of anthropology. This program will be broad in scope but with a regional focus, making use of the exceptional archaeological resources in the Texas Big Bend to enhance student learning and accelerate Big Bend research to a world class level. Students will develop familiarity with the intricacies of Cultural Resource Management, collections curation, human evolution, ethnographic records, data recovery and analysis, and archaeological field and lab methods. The program will prepare students to become professional archaeologists or continue a career in the academy.
