Anthropology Nazarbayev University

Overview

The Anthropology program at Nazarbayev University  trains students to think critically about the ways in which people differ and to seek creative solutions to problems in the world around them. We also work to provide a broad perspective and a familiarity with the diversity of humanity. Whether as a major, a minor, or simply as an elective course, anthropology can enhance any educational experience. Because of the breadth of the field of anthropology, our students are prepared for a wide variety of careers. However, there are very few jobs with the word anthropology in the job title, so our students need to be creative in applying their skills.

 Career

• Education/Outreach Administration/Management
• Cultural Resource Management (CRM)
• Evaluation/Assessment
• Health (international/public health)
