Description:
Anthropology is the world's most comprehensive academic discipline and considers virtually everything that has to do with human beings past, present, and future,almost anywhere in the world. Introductory courses provide an overview of the fields of anthropology while advanced courses provide the opportunity to pursue intensive study of particular topics in cross cultural perspective. The major both prepares students for graduate-level study and serves as a foundation for a wide range of careers. With a background in anthropology, students can become teachers, social workers, public policy experts, forensic investigators, health practitioners, business leaders or community and economic development specialists as well as pursuing various other careers. Belize is a rich living laboratory in which to study Anthropology. Very distinct cultures, indigenous, African and European, have influenced the development of society and the course of history.
