Overview

If you would like to work with faculty on researching deviant behavior, conducting archaeological analysis of historical artifacts or studying how gender, race, ethnicity, and social class affect relationships, this Anthropology major from Northern Michigan University is the program for you. We emphasize providing students with the experiences and skills necessary to apply knowledge in real-world contexts.

Areas of Study

Anthropology is comprised of four sub-fields:

sociocultural anthropology,
linguistics,
archaeology
and physical anthropology/forensic anthropology.

Anthropologists are involved in diverse research agendas that range from digging ancient archaeological sites to examining people’s attachments to natural environments, and conducting market research for developing businesses.

Sometimes considered a fifth sub-discipline, applied anthropology is yet another area of study that allows anthropologists to apply theories and methods to solve real-world problems.
