GW Anthropology

The Anthropology Department at The George Washington University is committed to integrating humanistic and scientific perspectives while pursuing advanced research of the highest quality.

We believe that:

• research should be rigorous and creative
• our research should be connected to our teaching
• our students deserve outstanding training in the "four fields"
• archaeology
• biological anthropology
• sociocultural anthropology
• linguistic anthropology.

A degree in anthropology from GW signals that the holder can synthesize diverse data about human beings, a skill increasingly valued in a variety of professions and academic settings.
