专业描述

Anthropology is the study of humankind, past and present. Our mission is to advance knowledge of anthropology through scientific and humanistic research, high quality teaching, professional publications, and community outreach. Anthropology at UAB is very student-friendly. Typical anthropology courses above the introductory level average 10 to 15 students, facilitating class discussion, hands-on instruction in lab courses, and a relaxed and personal atmosphere. Some of our undergraduates pursue independent study courses in which they research topics of personal interest under the guidance of a faculty member. Our faculty also encourage and assist student attendance at professional conferences.
