An Anthropology major is usually a bachelor's degree that examines humanity through several traditional subfields: cultural anthropology (societies, beliefs, and customs), archaeology (past peoples through their material remains), biological/physical anthropology (human evolution, genetics, and primatology), and linguistic anthropology (language and communication). Programs combine ethnographic and qualitative methods with research design, and many include a field school, lab work in excavation or skeletal analysis, or a senior research project.
A bachelor's in Anthropology prepares graduates for work in cultural resource management, museums, market and user research, international development, nonprofits, and public health, where ethnographic and cross-cultural skills are valued. Many research and academic positions in the field, however, typically require a master's degree or higher. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects employment of anthropologists and archeologists to grow 3.7% from 2024 to 2034, with a 2024 median annual wage of $64,910 reported by BLS.
Anthropology pairs well with sociology, biology, history, or a foreign language, and students leaning toward archaeology or biological anthropology often add coursework in geology, statistics, or laboratory science.
