Anthropology Zoology Undergraduate at University of Michigan
The Undergraduate Anthropology Program emphasizes the commitment of this department to four-field anthropology, providing exposure to Ethnology, Archeology, Linguistic and Biological Anthropology. As a discipline, anthropology investigates both the biological and the sociocultural aspects of humanity in all its diversity. This holistic approach serves Anthropology’s intellectual goal to achieve a comprehensive and comparative understanding of humanity.
Anthropology can be an important component of a liberal education, complementing a wide variety of fields. While the undergraduate concentration program provides an excellent foundation for more advanced work in anthropology, it is not intended to be solely a preprofessional program. Many of our concentrators pursue advanced degrees in other disciplines, such as law, medicine, social work, public health and history. Others find a concentration or coursework in anthropology helpful in government service or in a variety of international organizations and businesses. A number of our concentrators choose to combine an anthropology concentration with a second field of study. We also offer minors in the sub-disciplines of anthropology. The Undergraduate Advisor will provide interested students with information and guidance in planning a concentration or minor, and is always happy to discuss the ways that anthropology can contribute to various goals.
