Warning:
The Anthropology major is designed to give students exposure to the four main fields of anthropology:
- Cultural Anthropology, which focuses on living cultures and their social relationships.
- Physical or Biological Anthropology, which is the comparative study of human variation and evolution.
- Archaeology, which studies the material remains of past cultures.
- Linguistics, the study of human languages.
Students gain a rich perspective on both the universal threads that bind humans together and the rich tapestry of global cultural diversity. Students with a major in anthropology leave Marquette with great chances of admission to graduate and professional schools. Others pursue careers in education, public health, international business, archaeology, human rights work, historic preservation and more.
