Why Anthropology?
Personally, I came to anthropology because of a single course I took in my junior year. It opened my eyes to seeing the world in a new way. People I thought were primitive turned out to be sophisticated thinkers, artists and producers. Things I thought were natural and universal turned out to be learned, and things I thought were separate turned out to be connected. I learned of a scientific method that learned from people, not only about them. The world turned out to be smaller, in terms of interconnectivity, but larger in terms of human potential.
Our Mission
Miami's anthropology program focuses on undergraduate education. Straddling the hard sciences, social sciences and the humanities, we strive to give students a solid liberal arts background in conjunction with strong research experience and a broad perspective on the human condition. More than 30 percent of anthropology students go on to law, business, or graduate programs. Others have gone on to successful careers in business, teaching, marketing, conservation and many other fields.
