Chair's Welcome
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.
Our Mission
What does it mean to be human? That's the question that lies behind Miami's undergraduate anthropology program . Integrating 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.
