The Anthropology Department promotes awareness of anthropological knowledge and methods and seeks to further the discipline and its applications to the problems of the contemporary world. Through teaching, research, and involvement in campus and community events and programs, the anthropology faculty members contribute to the liberal education of IUP students. The Anthropology major itself equips students with knowledge and skills needed for full participation in the global environment of the twenty-first century.
Anthropology emphasizes the study of human biological and cultural diversity within its four subfields: sociocultural anthropology, biological anthropology, linguistics, and archaeology. All students receive a solid foundation in the discipline of anthropology and tailor their major to specific interests by following one of the three tracks.
The General Anthropology Track ensures that students receive a strong foundation in all four subdisciplines of Anthropology while simultaneously permitting them a great deal of freedom to explore a variety of issues in Anthropology and to tailor the curriculum to the students’ own interests. The General Track is suitable for any Anthropology major or students seeking to double major in Anthropology.
The Archaeology track provides an emphasis on the study of culture through the material remains of human behavior. This track provides training for careers in the growing fields of cultural resource management and historic preservation, with opportunities for employment in both government and the private sector. A wide variety of internship opportunities provide hands-on training in these areas.
The Applied Anthropology track provides students with a background in anthropological method and theory, a cross-cultural perspective, and an avenue to translate this knowledge into action through internships and research. Examples of career opportunities include program design, implementation, and evaluation; policy analysis and administrative and managerial development; assessment of current and future human needs; and creation of strategies for social intervention and advocacy. In consultation with an advisor, each student will develop his or her own curriculum in order to build expertise in a specific topical area.
The department also offers preparation for teaching social studies with a concentration in anthropology. This program leads to a Bachelor of Science in Education degree. With its emphasis on cross-cultural comparisons, the realities of contemporary global cultures, and cultural resource management, anthropology provides a solid foundation for teaching social science at the secondary level. The department also offers a minor in anthropology.
