Bachelor of Arts or Science - Anthropology

At the UO’s Department of Anthropology, students can learn about various cultures and populations, dig up fossils, study gorillas, hunt for ancient relics, and more. Students can pursue their specific interests through three anthropological subfields: cultural anthropology, biological anthropology, and archaeology.

Students will be taught by working anthropologists who study societies from the past and present in West Africa, East Africa, Latin America, North America, East Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, Oceania, and the Caribbean. Students will learn about the human species from ecological and evolutionary perspectives, and gain a deeper understanding of human biological variation and our relation to other animals. Students can participate in field schools that travel across the world digging for artifacts, and go abroad to study international cultures.
