Welcome

Welcome to the Department of Anthropology at the University of Delaware, where we celebrate the richness of human diversity through an expansive and holistic approach to the study of anthropology. As one of the world's largest undergraduate-focused anthropology departments, we are dedicated to exploring the complexities of human experience across time and space. Our robust curriculum prepares students for diverse careers in medicine, business, law, and education, while also laying a solid foundation for advanced graduate study in the humanities and sciences.

At UD, we believe in learning by doing. In close collaboration with faculty, our students conduct original research in laboratory settings, ethnographic studies, and archaeological fieldwork. These opportunities not only enhance the academic journey but also cultivate a strong sense of community. Our commitment to blending humanism with scientific rigor underscores our mission to foster a deeper understanding of what it means to be human. Join us in exploring the dynamic and ever-evolving field of anthropology at the University of Delaware.
