• Provide students with an understanding of anthropology's four main subfields: archaeology, biological anthropology, cultural anthropology, and linguistic anthropology.
• Analyze the central theories and methodologies of anthropology.
• Train students in anthropological research methods, including the collection, analysis, and interpretation of data, participant observation, interviewing, and ethnographic and technical writing.
