Program overview
What Southern Utah University says about their program:
Students pursuing anthropology at SUU will study in a program with a four-field approach that emphasizes anthropology’s dominant sub-disciplines: archaeology, biological anthropology, cultural anthropology, and anthropological linguistics. With a curriculum rooted in the liberal arts and sciences tradition, the anthropology program supports the university’s academic mission and core themes by embracing project-based learning, emphasizing experiential and service learning inside and outside of the classroom, and preparing students for life in an increasingly diverse and multicultural world. By the end of their course of study students will master research, critical thinking and reasoning, scientific and quantitative literacy, ethical reasoning, intercultural competence, and oral and written communication skills. Through courses dealing with human evolution, prehistoric culture change, sociolinguistics, and the cultural and biological diversity of contemporary humans, students will study the incredible biological and cultural diversity that characterizes the human species and learn to question ethnocentric beliefs, attitudes, and prejudices.
