人类学旨在将人们理解为生物学和社会存在。它涉及到穿越时空的各种形式的人。人类学中存在四个分支或子领域：考古学，生物人类学，文化人类学和语言学，反映出这种整体性和广泛性。接触人类学信息和跨文化视角会使学生对周围的世界更加敏感。对于任何旨在定义和解释人类生活规律的计划，这有助于学生采取有纪律性怀疑的理性态度。其他领域的学生可能会发现人类学课程对他们的主要学术兴趣而言是令人兴奋且有价值的补充。Global Pathway计划具有重要的全球内容，并且与USF的“质量增强计划”（Global Citizens Pr
Anthropology aims at comprehending people as biological and social beings. It is concerned with all forms of people through time and space. This holistic and broad-ranging view is reflected by the presence within anthropology of four branches or sub-fields: archaeology, biological anthropology, cultural anthropology, and linguistics. Exposure to anthropological information and the cross-cultural perspective produces heightened sensitivity in the student to the world about him/her. This helps the student to adopt an intellectual posture of disciplined skepticism with respect to any scheme that purports to define and account for regularities in human life. Students majoring in other fields may find anthropology coursework an exciting and valuable supplement to their primary academic interest.<br><br>This program has been certified as a Global Pathway. Global Pathway programs have significant global content and align with the goals of USF's Quality Enhancement Plan, the Global Citizens Project. Students in Global Pathway programs are well positioned to earn the Global Citizen Award and become eligible to apply for a study abroad scholarship offered by the Global Citizens Project.
