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.

The Department of Anthropology offers courses to meet the needs of students interested in a comprehensive understanding of human societies and cultures past and present. Prehistoric, historic, ethnographic, and linguistic study provides the basis for understanding how a variety of societies solve common problems. Anthropology bridges sciences and the humanities and develops critical thinking, communication skills, facility with group processes, and the ability to work independently. It can help students succeed in an increasingly interconnected and complex world.
An anthropology degree enables students to pursue a broad range of jobs requiring a liberal arts background; for example, education, human and governmental services, law, business, media and medicine. It prepares them especially well for work situations that emphasize cross-cultural awareness, international contacts and management of cultural resources. Anthropology curriculum provides a sound basis for later professional or graduate education.
A minor in Anthropology requires satisfying requirements established by the university and the College of Liberal Arts. A grade of C- or better is required for all courses used to complete minor requirements. An undergraduate minor in Anthropology allows choosing courses from the following areas:

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. |
