The Department of Anthropology offers opportunities to learn about the diverse people of today’s world, as well as about their biological and cultural origins. This area of study deals with ecology, society, biology, culture, and language, among other aspects of human life. In addition, anthropologists study history and evolution in both a cultural and biological framework. Anthropology provides an excellent foundation for careers in a variety of professions and occupations, including community health, public health policy, medicine and health services, planning and community development, international relations and development, private business, government, law, journalism, museum work, and university teaching and research. Students can major or minor in anthropology. The major is structured to provide the student with a broad overview of the major subdisciplines: cultural anthropology, physical anthropology and archaeology. It also allows sufficient flexibility for a student to concentrate on a specific area of interest. Visit our website at: http://anthropology.as.uky.edu/.
