Overview

Anthropology examines human societies from both a scientific and a values/beliefs viewpoint. It allows you to unpack all that it means to be human in time, space and biology.

Anthropology appropriately has been called the most humanistic of the sciences and the most scientific of the humanities. The BA in Anthropology at Rhode Island College will prepare you for careers in many areas of the social and behavioral sciences, education, government service, technical fields and business, particularly in an international setting.

It is the broadest in scope among the social and behavioral sciences since its domain encompasses all that is human in time and space. This vast undertaking has meant that anthropology has developed specialized subfields, including anthropological linguistics, archaeology, cultural anthropology and physical anthropology. Internships, field experiences and study abroad are encouraged.
