Anthropology is the comparative, cross-cultural study of human experience and behavior, and is typically divided into four subfields: cultural anthropology, archaeology, physical anthropology, and linguistics.
Transy’s program emphasizes cultural anthropology and archaeology, seeking to provide students with a broad base for understanding and interpreting human action in a variety of pre-historical, historical, and contemporary contexts. Course offerings represent a wide range of topical areas including religion, health and healing systems, gender studies, development, human origins and evolution, and Latin American archaeology.
