WHY CHOOSE CSUF Anthropology
Anthropologists study humans and their immediate ancestors to understand their diversity and adaptability across time and space. Our students work alongside faculty experts to conduct research on the past, present and future of human existence.
Anthropology includes four subdisciplines:
-
Cultural anthropology: the study of societies of the present and recent past
-
Archaeological anthropology: the study of ancient and more recent societies
-
Biological anthropology: the study of human biological variation through time
-
Linguistic anthropology: the study of language in its cultural and social contexts
Our program offers many opportunities for student engagement through student clubs, research and internships.
