A degree in anthropology is the foundation for many rewarding careers. Alumni of the department of anthropology are employed in business, government, and non-governmental organizations throughout the U.S. and around the world. Some students will continue their formal education in graduate, medical, or law school leading to careers in teaching, research, and medical or legal professions.

We enjoy hearing from former students about their career accomplishments and current activities. Faculty can be contacted through the department or by e-mail.
