Overview

University of North Carolina Asheville with Anthropology department you’ll find a diverse and interdisciplinary group of faculty who have carried out research on five continents and who are dedicated to helping students find ways to understand and engage with the world’s complexities. We believe our disciplines are intimately related, yet distinct, each involved in documenting and understanding the varieties of human experience.

Key facts

Anthropology is one of the most international of all the social sciences. A diverse but comprehensive discipline, anthropology investigates the social and cultural life of human beings in all times and all places. A concentration in anthropology provides students with an appreciation of other ways of life, different systems of belief and knowledge, and perhaps most importantly, a better understanding of the world in which they live. Students majoring in sociology are prepared for careers in social work, criminal justice, non-profit agencies, business and government as well as graduate study in sociology, anthropology, criminology, social work, law and various other fields.
