Welcome to the University at Albany Anthropology Department. Anthropology is the study of humanness. The Department at UAlbany is a four-field department--that is, we pursue this study of humanness through teaching and research in the subdisciplines of archaeology, biological anthropology, cultural anthropology, and linguistic anthropology. Anthropology majors receive a solid foundation in all four.

UAlbany offers undergraduate and graduate degrees in anthropology. Students may earn Bachelor of Arts degrees in Anthropology and Linguistics, as well Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in each of the subfields. Additionally, the department jointly offers a Bachelor of Science in Human Biology in conjunction with the UAlbany Biological Sciences Department.
