Program Overview

Students who choose to major in Anthropology receive training in the core subfields of the discipline and choose from a variety of topics that allow for greater specialization. 教员们在非洲进行广泛的研究, Latin America, 南亚及东南亚, 和美国, and they are dedicated to bringing their real-world experiences into the classroom. 教师们对学生很关心, and Anthropology majors have many opportunities to work closely with their professors.

To earn a B.A. in Anthropology, students take at least 11 courses in Anthropology for a total of 33 semester credit hours, 包括文化入门课程, biological, 以及考古人类学. They work with an adviser from the Anthropology program to select from a flexible range of courses that best suit their interests and the university's requirements for graduation.

Because Anthropology has applications to and connections with so many other disciplines, students are encouraged to plan their program of study to include courses from Biology, Geological Sciences, Geography, History, Sociology, and Psychology. They are also encouraged to take courses from other academic programs in which Anthropology faculty members participate, 例如全球研究, Classics & World Religions, Women's Studies, War and Peace Studies, and Environmental Studies.

The Anthropology program offers several advantages to its majors:

  • Hands-on Experience—Ohio University's 俄亥俄州考古学校 gives students the chance to receive hands-on experience in current archaeological techniques and laboratory analysis of archaeological material in a field school taught by Ohio University Anthropology faculty. In addition, the 生物人类学 Laboratory gives students hands-on experience through its extensive skeletal collection.
  • 本科研究—Ohio University funds competitive grants for undergraduate research projects and holds an annual research symposium that enables students to present their work to the university community.
  • Study Abroad—Ohio University's Office of Global Opportunities serves a growing number of students who are choosing to travel and study outside of the United States, 提供传统的学期和夏季课程, 实习职位, volunteer projects and faculty-led programs to more than 30 destinations worldwide. The Anthropology program offers a special Spring Break study abroad course tailored for its majors on human rights law, 以及北爱尔兰的正义.

职业和研究生院

The labor/job market reflects the diversity of anthropology as a field. Past Anthropology students from Ohio University have pursued careers in professional schools including medical, law, and nursing.

Anthropology students have been accepted into top graduate schools in anthropology, social work, forensics, history, 以及其他相关领域. Many students have received fellowships or research assistantships due to their Ohio University undergraduate research experiences. 他们还进入了许多政府机构, 包括和平队, AMERICORPS, VISTA, parks service and the National Endowment for the Humanities. Students in cultural anthropology often get positions in NGOs (non-governmental agencies) focused on U.S. 或者国际发展.
