Students in this program will be exposed to diverse articulations of human experience and cultures, and will discover how human beings in their diversity are all engaged in a project of making meaning in the world.

The mission of the Anthropology program is threefold:

• To develop graduates who can engage in dialogue between diverse cultural traditions and recognize them as valid  forms of human organization and expression
• To develop graduates who can critically examine our own cultural traditions and lineages and recognize them as merely one form of human expression among others
• To develop graduates who are trained in anthropological and ethnographical fieldwork techniques including a comprehensive understanding of the ethics involved in working with living cultures
