Anthropology Program at Kansas State University
Now that globalization is reaching even the most remote corners of the world, the fundamental lessons of anthropology are no longer exotic luxury but necessity. With its holistic perspective and commitment to documenting and analyzing multiple different ways of life, past and present, anthropology is uniquely equipped to prepare our students to more realistically appreciate and effectively meet the challenges of our rapidly changing cultural realities.

Our program offers many opportunities to undergraduates that most programs in the world cannot offer. Our students often work right along side our faculty as teaching and research assistants. Our undergrads are offered hands-on training and experience in the methods of digital ethnography, archaeology, anthropological linguistics, and osteology.

Such experiences propel our students to win top scholarships and attend the best graduate programs in the world.

Perhaps more importantly, our students leave with a global and holistic perspective that serves them well in whatever career they might choose. Our graduates have had successful careers in a wide range of fields, including medicine, law, public service, and education.

Our faculty cover all four major subfields of anthropology and have worked in every major continent around the world. Their dedication to serving undergraduate students has won them several of the most prestigious university, state, and national teaching awards, and brought world-wide recognition to the program.
