University of Tulsa, Department of Anthropology

For the BA and BS degrees, the curriculum covers the four traditional subfields of anthropology: archaeology, cultural anthropology, biological (physical) anthropology, and linguistics. Undergraduates are required to produce a senior project focusing in one of the four fields. Students in the MA program may choose a thesis or non-thesis option. Faculty research has focused in North America, the southeastern US and Oklahoma, the Pacific, Jordan, Israel, Cyprus, Saint Croix, and China.
