Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Programs of Study

Program code: ANTHNM-APAN

Applied anthropology focuses on the anthropologist as an agent of social change and bridges the gap between theories of cultural behavior and the policies that affect contemporary cultures. The Applied Anthropology Track provides students with a background in anthropological method and theory, a cross-cultural perspective, and an avenue to translate this knowledge into action through internships and research. Contemporary applied anthropologists work in international development, health, human rights, business and marketing, the environment, education, and as advocates for marginalized communities. In consultation with an advisor, each student will develop their own curriculum to build expertise in a specific topical area.
