B.A. in Anthropology

Study mode: Full Time |

This program focuses on cultural anthropology, providing students with an understanding of the diversity of cultural worlds, human social organization and social structure, and social research methods. The courses help students gain an understanding of the complexity of current events within the U.S. and internationally, and the importance of recognizing and weighing equally cultural values and ideas from across the globe. The course offerings examine topics ranging from anthropological theory and the positioning of knowledge and power, to the application of anthropology to urban social issues, health care, and public policy. As anthropology majors, students gain knowledge, skills, and conceptual tools that prepare them for a wide range of careers, professional training programs, and graduate school. Anthropology is a popular major for people intending to pursue professional study in medicine, psychology, education, business, and human services (e.g., social work, nursing, etc). The majors also have entered MA and PhD graduate programs in anthropology across the country, as well as the MA in Applied Sociology program at UMBC. As with most liberal arts majors, undergraduate majors in anthropology who wish to engage in anthropology professionally generally continue to graduate school. For anthropology majors who do not intend to continue to graduate school, many government, non-profit, and private sector job opportunities are available, especially in positions that involve human interaction and where an understanding of multicultural issues is beneficial. This includes employment at social welfare, health-related, and program evaluation agencies and organizations, private marketing firms, and companies involved in international business.
