Overview

Through the Anthropology course from the University of Colorado Denver courses in cultural anthropology, biological anthropology and archaeology cut across disciplinary lines: the humanities, social sciences and natural sciences. Because of this integrative perspective on the human condition, and the training provided in objectively assessing cultural patterning and social interaction, an advanced degree in anthropology provides a versatile base for career development.
