Overview

The Anthropology BA program offered by The University of Vermont has been equipping citizens to make a positive impact on a local and global scale. At the same time, we're progressive, integrating traditional studies like archaeology with contemporary topics. A UVM anthropology degree will give you a firm grounding in the discipline while providing you with the skills to meet the world’s challenges head-on, hands-on.

The mission of the Department of Anthropology at the University of Vermont is to produce influential research in anthropology integrated with an outstanding undergraduate liberal arts education. Drawing on the interdisciplinary four-field tradition, we emphasize strong training in contemporary anthropological theory, research methods, and ethical practices, with the goal of preparing students to think critically and act as engaged citizens for the common good. Together as students and faculty, our scholarly community mobilizes anthropological knowledge to address questions of culture and its role in a diverse and changing world.

Upon completion of the BA degree, students will be able to:

Provide an anthropological definition of culture and give examples of how culture shapes human life in diverse ways
Distinguish the ways in which anthropologists examine and analyze human diversity across time and space
Recognize how the four subfields of anthropology (cultural, linguistic, biological, archaeological) differ in focus, methodologies, and conceptual approaches
Demonstrate how an anthropological approach can be applied to a range of complex social issues in diverse settings
Recognize ethical dilemmas in anthropology and ethical principles in research and other practice
Develop and communicate anthropological research questions, access and analyze scholarly literature, and outline appropriate research methods and approaches
