Anthropology
Studying Anthropology at DePauw
By studying humanity from its earliest origins to its contemporary social and cultural forms, anthropologists acquire a broad understanding of the ways in which people interact with one another and the environments in which they live. These crucial insights offer an expansive understanding of how societies and cultures evolve while also imparting a highly developed sense of cross-cultural empathy and relativism.
As a student of anthropology at DePauw, you’ll enjoy a broad spectrum of classes spanning such topics as race and ethnicity, archaeology, militarism, health, language, food, labor distribution, kinship systems and more. This foundation of knowledge can serve as a catalyst for any career that prioritizes a keen awareness of human diversity and a robust interdisciplinary skillset. Whether you’re interested in social services, international development, education, law, public health or further academic research, a background in anthropology can help you make a positive and lasting impact by understanding ways of thinking about the world that are often different from your own.
