The BA in Anthropology at UVA provides students with a comprehensive and global understanding of human societies—past and present. This program spans cultural anthropology, archaeology, linguistic anthropology, and biological anthropology, allowing students to explore human diversity from multiple perspectives. Fieldwork, ethnographic analysis, and laboratory training are integral parts of the experience. Students examine how language, culture, power, and history intersect in shaping human experience, and they learn critical thinking skills useful in law, medicine, business, development, and academia. From studying ancient civilizations to examining modern social structures, anthropology at UVA encourages an appreciation for cultural relativism and human complexity.
