Student Voices
“Majoring in anthropology offered me a rich understanding of the human experience
and was the perfect balance between humanities and science. With my varied interests,
I didn't have to confine myself into one box.”
Amara Golden — B.A. Graduate '24
“Anthropology is a great major because of the tools it provides us as we approach
sensitive issues, including gender, race, and many more hot topics—not just out in
‘the field,’ but also in our everyday life.”
Robert Sanchez — M.A. Graduate
