McCormick Telephone Contact: Ramona Sessions 626-6237 Description Anthropology is a synthesizing discipline which focuses on humans as bearers of culture and attempts to understand and order the variety of human behavior patterns in a holistic framework. It embraces not only contemporary ethnic groups and their problems, but also the historic and prehistoric past on a world-wide basis. Fields include archaeology, linguistics, ethnology, physical, and social anthropology. Students majoring in the sciences will find archaeology, with its emphasis on the means of scientific problem solving, to be a stimulating discipline for extending their science education into Ihe human arena. Education Students majoring in areas where the primary focus is on humans, particularly the social sciences and the humanities, will find Anthropology, with its strong emphasis on cultural integration, an important and stimulating discipline for a minor.
