The Anthropology program is committed to offering travel experiences for our majors during the May term. These courses integrate anthropology material with a travel component to give our students a unique experience that counts towards their major.
Our program provides students with a dynamic understanding of local and global culture by integrating classroom instruction with travel opportunities and hands-on learning such as internships and service-learning.
Transylvania also offers a major in sociology/anthropology.
