What is Anthropology and what do you do with it?
What can you do with an anthropology major? Plenty! An undergraduate degree in anthropology can lead to a surprisingly wide array of rewarding public- and private-sector careers in which people with expertise in human behavior are valued.
Students with an undergraduate degree in anthropology commonly follow any of four main career paths: positions in government, academia, business or community service organizations. Of course, many graduates of anthropology programs choose to become an archaeologist, paleontologist, ethnologist or primatologist. The complement of knowledge assimilated through the study of anthropology is applicable to a wide array of careers. Anthropology undergraduates also may choose to seek further study and advance to graduate school.
The study of anthropology provides students with a wide range of relevant skills that will equip them well for the 21st-century economy. In the view of the American Anthropological Association, anthropology is the only contemporary discipline that approaches human questions from historical, biological, linguistic and cultural perspectives.
