General Description / Special Programs
The department has strong interests in cultural anthropology and archaeology, with special concentrations in symbolic/psychological anthropology as well as the archaeology of the Great Basin/Southwest, Mesoamerica, Mediterranean Basin, and the Middle East. A senior thesis is required, and in most cases, student research is undertaken in connection with one of the department's four cultural field schools (India, Namibia, Thailand, the UK) or archaeological field schools in the Great Basin/Southwest or the Middle East. The Museum of People and Cultures provides lab space and collections for student and faculty research. Graduate course work is designed to prepare students for PhD programs elsewhere or agency careers. See department website for details.
