"The greatest single contribution a university can make to a student is an awakening to the diversity of possibilities in the world, and you simply can't study anthropology without expanding your horizons" (Kurt Schweigert, UND Anthropology Grad, '74).

Our Mission
Anthropology is the study of human life, including its cultures, behaviors, and biology in the past and present. The Department of Anthropology’s mission is to provide students with theoretical and methodological training in anthropology, preparing them to skillfully practice and apply the scientific and humanistic perspectives unique to our discipline. Students will receive a strong academic foundation in the broad sub-fields of anthropology (cultural anthropology, archaeology, and physical/biological anthropology).
After joining our program, students can expect to reflect on their world view(s) and their relationships to others as they enter an increasingly complex and diversified world.
Our program prepares students for graduate study and/or entrance into the global market place where they will understand the importance of and apply holistic, integrative, and comparative anthropological approaches in their careers and everyday lives. |

PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS |
An undergraduate major in anthropology can serve as the nucleus
for a general liberal arts education, or as the prerequisite for a graduate
education that will qualify a person for positions in (1) college and university
teaching, (2) research, and (3) administrative and applied positions in government,
non-governmental organizations, and museums. American anthropology is divided
into four main sub-areas----archaeology, cultural anthropology, linguistic
anthropology, and physical anthropology. Undergraduate training includes
work in all four areas. Anthropology at UND is especially strong in archaeology
and most students have an opportunity to work on archaeological excavations
or in the laboratory. Both a major and a minor are offered in anthropology.
