ANTH 2001 - Anthropology as a Major and Career

1 Credit(s) | $4 Fee

Anthropology trains and empowers students in ways unlike other disciplines. Our majors develop a particular set of skills that are as practical for use in diverse workplaces as they are essential to finding meaning in one’s professional life. Moreover, anthropology instills in its students an appreciation for human diversity that enables critical self-awareness and compassion for social Others. This one-credit course is designed to guide personal reflections about yourself, the purpose and benefits of your education in anthropology, and how this major can set you on a path toward a rewarding personal and professional future. Through short lectures, workshops, and facilitated discussions, this course will push you to interrogate your relationship to the discipline of Anthropology. Rather than simply exploring what you can do with anthropology, the fundamental question underlying this class considers how anthropology can shape your personal and professional future in rewarding ways.
