BA/BS in Anthropology

Anthropology students at Adelphi study people past and present, connecting cultures, languages, biology and history to modern economic and political questions. The discipline leads toward work in teaching, law, libraries, museums, advertising, civil service, medicine and community health. The department lets students design a study plan around their own curiosity and join faculty on research projects. Those choosing the science-oriented degree add courses from the earth sciences, ecology, life sciences, chemistry or mathematics, and they learn laboratory and field techniques in the on-campus archaeology lab. Because the subject complements many others, students often add a second major, and the science option transfers well into a science double major. Graduates leave ready for graduate programs or direct entry into the job market.
