Earn a Minor in Anthropology at OLLU
Anthropology is the scientific study of the origin, behavior, and physical and cultural development of humans. Studying human variation throughout the world and throughout time, anthropology offers a unique opportunity to focus on the biological and cultural diversity of humans both past and present.
Anthropology is generally divided into three areas of study:
1. Archaeology
2. Physical/Biological Anthropology

In addition to providing the basis for careers in the sub disciplines, anthropology provides a background for professional careers in governmental and non-governmental institutions that include teaching, research, public health, international affairs, medicine, business and law.
