What is special about Radford Universitys anthropology program?
Radford University’s anthropology program includes specialists in each of anthropology’s subfields — cultural anthropology, archaeology, and physical anthropology. All of these faculty members are actively doing anthropology. And each of them is dedicated to assuring that you have opportunities to do anthropology alongside them. For example, we offer a course in Practicing Ethnographic Methods in which the students write their own ethnographies (an ethnography is the study of the life of a people) — that is rare in an undergraduate curriculum. We offer a field school in archaeology, and many opportunities to apply the skills of physical anthropology to real skeletal materials. Much of this research is done in service to the governmental agencies and communities surrounding Radford University.
