Because the scholarly and research interests of most students are readily identifiable as centering in one of the four conventionally recognized subfields of anthropology â archaeology, linguistic anthropology, physical anthropology, and sociocultural anthropology â the Department formulates guidelines for study within each of these subfields.
One of these subfields is cultural anthropology, which is the study of the commonalities and differences of both past and present cultures. As its name implies, it is interested in culture, the set of learned behaviors and ideas that are characteristic of a particular society or population.
