BA/BS in Anthropology

EKU's B.A. in Anthropology is an on-campus degree of 120 credit hours. It covers archaeology, biological anthropology, language-focused and cultural anthropology, and treats anthropology as an applied science for solving human problems. Hands-on learning is central. Students can attend an archaeology field school in the Daniel Boone National Forest, run alongside the federal forest service, or a primate field school at a lemur conservation center in Florida. Education abroad trips have gone to Peru, Barcelona and Scandinavia. Minors and certificates can be added to the major. Textbooks are low cost, no application fee is required, and service members on active duty and spouses qualify for reduced tuition. Advisers also help with questions about careers and graduate study. Prospective students can arrange a campus visit and talk with advisers about course sequencing, transfer credit and scholarship options before they apply.
