Concentration in Anthropology: Anthropology is the holistic study of contemporary humans as well as their immediate ancestors. Anthropologists employ a cross- cultural, comparative approach to understanding what peoples around the world believe and how they live their lives. While anthropology is considered a social science, anthropologists work with scholars of other academic disciplines to understand the human condition. VSU’s anthropology program offers courses in:

Cultural Anthropology: the study of past and present belief systems and the social patterns they generate. Such information enables us to understand the differences between societies and why people behave the way they do. How, for example, they make their living; what they expect from their children; and how fair or unfair their societies are.

Linguistic Anthropology: the study of the way different speech communities employ language to communicate meaning. This includes the study of unspoken communication in addition to written and verbal language practices.

Biological/Physical Anthropology:  the study of humans as biological organisms within an evolutionary framework and the relationship between culture and biology. This includes the study of hominines and nonhuman primates.
Key questions include: Are humans a species? What does it mean to be human? Where did we come from?
