Bachelor of Arts [B.A] Anthropology

  • The anthropology major is intended to give students a foundation in the discipline of anthropology. Each of the two thematic areas of anthropology at Temple: "Evolution and Human Environments" and "Mobility and Global Inequality," requires the development of a number of skills, including formulating hypotheses; developing research programs and proposals; applying theories to the interpretation of artifacts and other data; and gathering ethnographic information through participant-observation.
  • There is sufficient flexibility in the requirements for the anthropology major so that a student with a specific interest can focus their program of study in that area—or not if a more general program is of interest.
  • With its focus on human diversity and its emphasis on cultural relativism, the anthropology major well prepares students for the issues they are likely to encounter in today's workplaces.
  • At Temple, they offer a number of courses on such topics as the Anthropology of Policy, Medical Anthropology, and Anthropology of the Family, which prepare students for careers in public administration, social work, health policy, and other aspects of public policy-related work, in addition to professional careers in fields such as business, law, and medicine.
