              Welcome to the 
     TCU Anthropology Program!

As an anthropology major or minor, students analyze how humans evolved biologically and culturally, as well as how human cultures are organized.  With the broadest comparative scope of any social-scientific discipline, anthropology studies the primate order and the 3-million-year migration of humans during their settlement of the globe through the discipline's traditional four subfields: archaeology, biological anthropology, linguistic anthropology, and ethnology.   Anthropology is a broad field, so employment possibilities are similarly broad with much to offer students. The Careers link provides an array of information on careers indirectly and directly related to anthropology.  

We encourage you to explore our web site and discover and learn more about course offerings, field experience, and career opportunities within the field of anthropology.

 



 

No matter what your major area of study is, Anthropology is bound to make a rich compliment to it.  Since anthropological knowledge is centered on diversity in our own species, its applications to the daily conduct of human relationships and transactions are limitless.  Anthropologists have abundant career options including positions in academia, museums, government and private industry positions in cultural resource management, health care, advertising, forensic analysis, social services agencies, and international business.  An anthropological training is highly regarded by American business and public employers and is considered a significant asset in the workplace.  Come explore how a major or minor in Anthropology will assist you in reaching your academic and career goals.

The faculty of the TCU Anthropology Program is dedicated to providing educational rich classroom and field experiences.
