Anthropology

Individuals interested in anthropology have at least one thing in common: the quest for knowledge about the human experience, from the past to the present, from evolutionary origins to the cultural organization of societies. At Minnesota State Mankato, students explore each of the four sub-fields of anthropology—archaeology, biological, sociocultural and linguistic—and interact with faculty who have worked in the field around the world. Field experience programs allow students to apply classroom knowledge to real-world situations and prepare them for a variety of careers working in health and human services, cultural resource management, museums, research and education.
