Biographical Note / Historical Note / Administrative History

Anthropology is the study of humankind in all times and places. Ball State has offered a major and minor in anthropology for many years and provides instruction in four subcategories of the field: archaelogy, cultural anthropology, biological anthropology, and linguistics. In addition to the formal courses of instruction, the anthropology department also provides students with a number of extra-curricular activities and opportunities including internships, field studies, an anthropology club, and study abroad opportunities.
