Anthropology is the interdisciplinary study of the human
species. The CSI Anthropology Program offers introductory
course work in three of the four major sub-fields of
anthropology including physical anthropology, cultural
anthropology, and archaeology. The program prepares
students to transfer to a university for further studies toward a
Bachelor’s or advanced degrees. Two of the four
anthropology courses satisfy core requirements at CSI.
Particular emphasis is given on the anthropology of the Great
Basin area.
Anthropology graduates find work in many fields including
cultural resource management (federal, state, private),
museums, foreign service, academic positions, and in
research institutions in areas such as primatology, medical
anthropology, and many more.
Completion of the program is designed to result in an
Associate’s degree, and meets the general education
requirements at all Idaho public universities. Course selection
should be coordinated to meet requirements for your intended
transfer institution.
