BA/BS in Anthropology

Anthropology at the University of Florida is offered as either a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science through the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. The discipline takes a holistic view of humankind across its cultural, archaeological, biological and linguistic subfields. The science degree pairs anthropology with laboratory and field research, community initiatives and scientific skills, and suits students heading toward life sciences, health fields, natural history or archaeological science. It draws on disciplines such as anatomy, biology, ecology, genetics and statistics. Both options require 120 credits plus university, college and major requirements, and an online version is also available. Prospective applicants should consult the catalog entry for the full course list, critical-tracking milestones and any minors or certificates that pair well with the major, and speak with an advisor early to plan the sequence of courses.
