Overview

The Cultural Anthropology program at the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) asks students to engage in critical analysis, evaluate social theories, and apply qualitative research methods. Students explore critical contemporary problems, globalization, urban life, family, gender, health, and technology, to name just a few topic areas, all in a cross-cultural frame.

Key facts:

The department also offers a three-course sequence on physical and forensic anthropology. Cultural anthropology majors complete their own independent research projects as part of their capstone methods course.

Cultural anthropology majors learn to gather and analyze complex material, communicate across differences, and recognize how cultural perspectives shape events and interactions. Upon graduation, students are well prepared to obtain employment in the increasingly diverse workforce, pursue graduate and professional training, and engage effectively in a complex world.
