Overview

The Anthropology programme from Cleveland State University (CSU) has four broad subfields. Archaeology examines the material records of past societies. Physical anthropology studies human evolution and modern human biological variation.

Cultural anthropology is the broadest subfield, investigating customs, traditions, religions and rituals of contemporary human societies. Linguistic anthropology explores the relationship between language and culture in past and present human societies.

Key facts

Students in the program receive concentrated training in these four subfields, with additional training in other subfields available through electives, independent study courses and participation in on-going faculty research projects.

Current projects include Maya archaeology, ethnographic video, and skeletal analysis and forensic anthropology, and urban anthropology of Ethiopia.
