Welcome to Anthropology at CI! Started in 2012, our program offers a broad holistic perspective on humans as social, cultural, and biological beings. Our curriculum crosscuts different subfields of anthropology – sociocultural, linguistic, archaeological, and biological – to address major themes that are relevant to understanding people today.
