Overview: Anthropology provides excellent preparation for advanced academic degrees, such as those obtained in medical school, law school, and graduate school in anthropology and other social sciences. Thinking anthropologically fosters critical understanding of cultural assumptions, social conventions, information, and even the concept of culture itself. This level of critical thinking builds the skills and attitudes necessary for working and living in diverse social environments.

Career Options: This degree prepares students for a number of careers, including: education, health care, museum curation, social work, international development, historic preservation, government, non-profit management and forensics. Most professional anthropological jobs require a graduate degree.
