The goal of our undergraduate degree program in anthropology is to provide enrolled students with a comprehensive understanding of anthropology and its various specializations, along with their respective theories and methodologies.
Offering required and elective courses, students are placed in a nurturing environment that fosters the advancement of their critical thinking and research skills. They are also prepared to service their skills in solving issues, both global and local ones.
The Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology program of NU’s School of Sciences and Humanities concentrates on what being human entails. Using a well-rounded system of learning, students learn and understand the intricacies of cultural behavior and institutions, biology, material culture, and language. The curriculum uses the four-field approach, so undergraduates attend classes in the four subfields of the anthropology discipline: Archaeology, Linguistic Anthropology, Sociocultural Anthropology, Biological Anthropology.
Additional courses our students take introduce them to various topics such as medical anthropology, primatology, race and ethnicity, economic anthropology, hominids, prehistoric archaeology, anthropogenic modification of the environment, gender, and sexuality.
Ultimately, our graduates with a B.A. in Anthropology from NUSSH are equipped with research methods, ethics, practice, and the theoretical concepts of anthropology. Graduates have also been taught to appreciate the importance of critical thinking, lifelong learning, and the acquisition of transferable skills.
