The School of Anthropology enjoys a long tradition of academic excellence, and today is ranked one of the top five programs in the United States. Well respected by researchers throughout the world, it is home to a diverse community of anthropologists who study all aspects of human life, from our hominid origins millions of years ago to the vast diversity of populations living in the world today.
The School of Anthropology is also one of the few institutions to fully support the integrated subdiscipline approach to Anthropology, with research embracing Sociocultural Anthropology (including Applied Anthropology), Biological Anthropology,Archaeology, and Linguistic Anthropology. Through the School, the University of Arizona provides meaningful opportunities to learn about what is human, how we evolved, and what lies in our future.
