Introduction

Anthropology Major, B.A. is a Bachelor program taught at Metropolitan State College of Denver, USA. The program is offered in campus-based modes with full-time options.

The Anthropology Major, B.A. studies cultural and biological diversity in people, and the interactions between human culture and biology. Students cover four traditional subfields: Cultural Anthropology, Biological Anthropology, Linguistic Anthropology, and Archaeology. Upper-division coursework lets students specialize in one or more of these areas, while the program also teaches conceptual and methodological tools for observing and studying the culture and biology of ancient and modern humans.

Learning includes local field-based experiences, study abroad in countries such as Japan and Italy, and research in partnership with professors. Students can present work at MSU Denver’s Undergraduate Research Conference and other local and national professional meetings. The program also connects coursework to practical experience through work-study programs in three laboratories: The Laboratory of Anthropology, the Ethnography Laboratory, and the Human Identification Laboratory.

The Laboratory of Anthropology houses archaeological and skeletal collections and teaching casts, including living and fossil primates, fossil hominins, and pathological specimens. The Ethnography Laboratory conducts cultural and linguistic anthropology research. The Human Identification Laboratory provides forensic anthropology field and laboratory services. Students can also earn course credit for internships at outside agencies such as the Douglas County History Repository, History Colorado, and F.C. Vogt Company, plus independent studies designed with faculty.
