Anthropology and geography offer an interdisciplinary perspective bridging cultural and physical landscapes to current topics such as resource management, sustainability, globalization, and community resilience. Students in the program will use empirical and theoretical methodologies to understand the way in which humans interact with the world and how environmental factors influence human society. This approach provides a path to careers in cultural heritage, physical geography, geographic information systems (GIS), environmental science, cultural anthropology, and archaeology. As a unification of two complementary disciplines, this program prepares graduates for a global market where an understanding of the interactions between cultures and the physical environment can provide a significant competitive and functional advantage. |
