Undergraduate Programs

Anthropology—the study of humans across time and space—offers a holistic approach to understanding the world through four key fields: cultural anthropology, archaeology, biological anthropology, and linguistic anthropology. Through innovative teaching, groundbreaking research, engaging internships, and hands-on, skill-building opportunities, the Anthropology Department at UMass fosters a rich learning environment.
