UTSA’s Anthropology Program

As both a social and biological science, pursuing an Anthropology degree will have you embracing a wide view of humanity, spread across four core areas. These areas include 1) culture, the study of people as a social unit, 2) linguistics, the study of language use in social life, 3) archaeology, the study of social and cultural life through human remains, and 4) biological, the study of living human populations and the behavior and ecology in non-human primates.
