Anthropology

Anthropology is so much more than stones and old bones — especially at PLU. Here you’ll also examine the politics, medicine, kinship, art and religion of various peoples and times to develop your understanding of the nature and variety of all humanity.

Anthropology tries to bring the world’s people into human focus through observation of people and cultures—studying them as they really are instead of how we think they should or should not behave. Only through this detailed study of all people can we gain the full picture of what it really is to be human.
