Careers in Anthropology

 

Anthropology is a broad field, and career opportunities for anthropology majors are similarly wide-ranging. Anthropologists work not just in academia and museums, but also in government and private industry positions in cultural resource management, health care, advertising, forensic analysis, social service agencies, and international business. Anthropologists understand how people and cultures work around the world, which makes anthropologists increasingly valuable to employers in an ever more rapidly globalizing world.
