What You'll Learn
The 蘑菇短视频Anthropology Program leads students to develop skills in writing and critical
analysis from a cross-cultural perspective. The program is based on the four subfields
of anthropology: sociocultural, linguistic, archaeology and bioanthropology. All majors
are required to take at least one elective in each of these categories. The core curriculum
is composed of the following courses: Origins of Civilization, Comparative Cultural
Systems, and History of Anthropological Theory. Additional opportunities for learning
include the Anthropology Club; Lambda Alpha, the anthropology honor society; the Ethnography
Laboratory, a research facility dedicated to the documentation of cultural life in
the Southern Mountains; and the Western Carolina Human Identification Laboratory,
a fully equipped facility focused on the recovery, storage and analysis of human remains.
Where You'll Go
