Welcome to Anthropology at Queens College!
The purpose of anthropology is to make the world safe for human differences." - Ruth Benedict
The Anthropology Department at Queens College aims to give students a knowledge of human origins and development, the varieties of human cultures, and cultural and social complexities of our species. A major in Anthropology provides the necessary preparation for graduate work in the field, as well as valuable background for careers in education, international studies, medicine and allied professions, sociology, and social work, as well as for participation in community organizations. You may also choose to minor in Anthropology or in one of our four NEW specialized minors: Human Ecology, Health and Culture, Power and Inequality, Cultural Heritage and Memory. |
