2007 NEIU Archaeological Field
School
Updated 1/28/2007 |
The discipline of anthropology uniquely incorporates both cultural and biological perspectives in its study of the diversity of past and present humans, as well as that of our closest primate relatives. With a strong commitment to teaching excellence, NEIU Anthropology offers courses leading to the Bachelor of Arts degree.
Our program provides a challenging curriculum in the sub-disciplines of cultural anthropology, biological anthropology, and archaeology that encourages field-based learning, data-oriented research, and a solid grounding in the theoretical constructs of the discipline. Students taking courses in anthropology develop a multifaceted understanding of human diversity steeped in time, multicultural ethnographic comparisons, and the science of our physical form. This enriching perspective is not only well-suited for subsequent graduate studies and professional careers in anthropology, but also for fostering tolerance and negotiating the many facets of our modern global society.
