The Department stresses an open, critical, and diverse intellectual forum for examining and coming to understand the processes, constraints, and possibilities for what it means to be human today and what being human has meant prehistorically and historically. ÌýIn both its undergraduate and graduate programs, Anthropology Department faculty members take mentorship seriously and à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã have ample opportunity for close interaction and collaboration with faculty.
