Anthropology is the holistic study of human life, past and present. The anthropology program at EKU offers a student-centered, high-quality, undergraduate degree with exposure to archaeology, biological anthropology, linguistic anthropology, and cultural anthropology. Anthropology is also an applied science, meaning that anthropologists seek to apply their knowledge in order to solve human problems. Our students participate in applied research or independent research, archaeology and primate field schools, and study abroad opportunities in Spain, Denmark, Peru, and Madagascar. Gain hands-on experience and apply what you learn in the classroom to the world around you.
Corporations will continue to use anthropological research to gain a better understanding of consumer demand within specific cultures or social groups. Anthropologists also will be needed to analyze markets, allowing businesses to serve their clients better or to target new customers or demographic groups.
Archeologists will be needed to ensure that builders, museums, and other organizations comply with federal regulations pertaining to the preservation and handling of archeological and historical artifacts.
Employment of anthropologists and archeologists is projected to grow 8 percent from 2023 to 2033.
