ADDRAN COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS 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.
