What is Anthropology?
Anthropology is the study of humans, past and present. Anthropology builds upon knowledge from the social and biological sciences as well as the humanities and physical sciences.
Anthropologists investigate and apply knowledge to solve human problems using a four-field approach:
Cultural
Archaeology
Biological
Linguistics

Why Anthropology?
Anthropologists want to know why. For example, we know how Zika is spreading but do we know why?

Anthropologists are in demand!
Employers of all types want the specific skills of anthropologists including health care fields, governments, non-profit, and private companies.
