Undergraduate Programs
Anthropology bridges sciences and the humanities while developing critical thinking, communication, group processes, and the ability to work independently. An anthropology degree enables you to pursue a broad range of jobs that emphasize cross-cultural awareness, international contacts and management of cultural resources; for example: education, human and governmental services, law, business, media, and medicine. A program may be selected to emphasize archaeology/physical anthropology, cultural/linguistic anthropology, or general anthropology. Our Anthropology Club composed of both majors and minors, plays an important role in departmental activities. Anthropology will help you succeed in an increasingly interconnected and complex world.

Language in Culture Certificate
|
Are you intrigued by the nature of human languages and the central role of language in human culture? Beginning in the Fall of 2003, OSU undergraduates will have the opportunity to focus their coursework in this area while pursuing the major of their choice. Students may enroll in this program in either the Department of Anthropology or Department of Foreign Languages. They will then follow a coherent body of coursework in multiple departments and receive recognition of this fact on their diploma. Students will learn about linguistic diversity, first and second language acquisition, and the ways in which communication patterns vary from cultural group to cultural group. The application of sociolinguistic research to real life problems is a cornerstone of the program. This certificate program can easily be completed within a 4 year B.A. degree since certificate credits can be concurrent with both major requirements and Baccalaureate Core requirements. Baccalaureate Core requirements, however, cannot be taken within the major department. |
