Anthropology

Anthropology

Anthropology is a holistic discipline that considers human beings as biological and cultural organisms in both the past and present. It is traditionally divided into four subdisciplines; biological anthropology, archaeology, linguistics, and cultural anthropology. Not only is anthropology a fascinating discipline in its own right, anthropological thinking is essential for navigating and appreciating a multicultural society such as our own. At Oxford College, students can begin with an introductory course that explores how anthropologists think and continue in courses that specialize in biological and cultural anthropology. Oxford College students have the opportunity to participate in anthropological research projects with faculty during their freshman and sophomore years. After finishing two years at Oxford, students can continue at Emory College as Anthropology majors or minors. Our students have strong foundations to continue in other majors as well, including Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology and Latin American Studies.
