BA/BS in Anthropology

Anthropology examines human societies, cultures and biology across time and place. Students move across four subfields, covering culture, language, human biology and the archaeological record, learning to build theories, test hypotheses and work with data. The degree suits students curious about why communities differ and how people evolved, and it builds research habits useful in many careers. Coursework blends major requirements with core and elective study, leaving room to explore related interests while building writing, analytical and communication skills that employers value across many fields. The program is based at the Queens campus and its published curriculum totals 120 credit hours.
