Why Major in Anthropology?

Many employers value the skills and perspectives that develop from learning to think like an anthropologist.

Ecological and Environmental Anthropology

Relationship Between Humans and the Natural World

Ecological and environmental anthropology at the University of Georgia examines the past and present reciprocal relationship between humans and the natural world. Our archaeological, biological, and cultural anthropology investigations yield critical knowledge of diverse dimensions of the human experience that we then apply in socially relevant ways.
