Overview

The Anthropology program from Kent State University is more structured in terms of course requirements than the B.A. degree in Anthropology and provides students with methods and theory that will prepare them for graduate school and future careers in the discipline.

Kent State University’s Bachelor of Science Degree in Anthropology provides students with a strong scientific foundation in the study of human evolution, biology, and behavior.

The program emphasizes biological anthropology, archaeology, and forensic anthropology, offering hands-on training in research methods, lab techniques, and fieldwork.

Students explore the biological aspects of humanity, from genetics to human fossils, while developing analytical and problem-solving skills. Graduates are well-prepared for careers in forensic science, archaeological research, healthcare, and environmental studies, or for pursuing advanced studies in anthropology, medicine, or related scientific fields.

Learning Outcomes

Graduates of this program will be able to:

Acquire a foundational view of human cultures and an extensive knowledge base of diverse human behavior
Demonstrate broad skills in social, physical and biological sciences.
Understand how social scientists think and apply their findings.

Graduates of the Archaeology concentration will be able to:

Learn how anthropologists investigate the past combining the methods of social and natural scientists.

Demonstrate comprehension of anthropology’s special role in making archaeology (particularly the study of the ancient Americas) come to life and become relevant for them.

Gain a special appreciation of archaeology’s other mandate—the need to conserve the precious heritage of the archaeological record, both in the New World and the Old World.

Demonstrate thorough knowledge of general chemistry and/or physics, fundamental mathematics, as well as specific areas of geology and geography.
