Majors

Anthropology is the study of human beings, both physically and culturally, in the past and present, mostly through the method of fieldwork.

At NKU, our department offers a learner-centered anthropology program with courses and activities designed to give students a deeper appreciation of diversity of all peoples. Our award-winning faculty specialize in all four subfields -- archaeology, cultural anthropology, linguistics, biological anthropology -- and offer insights into different cultures around the world.

Anthropology majors also have opportunities for study in the broader world outside the classroom. Students worked with faculty on recent research trips to Thailand and Vancouver, British Columbia. In the summer of 2013, we will offer a class in Belize.
