Anthropology is the study of human culture and biology in the past and present. The Anthropology Program at Western Kentucky University provides opportunities for students to major or minor in anthropology, offering students a coherent program of study that enriches their knowledge of human culture, develops their cross-disciplinary perspective, and prepares them for a variety of careers. In particular, the program provides opportunities for students to study the interaction of culture and biology, both in contemporary societies as well as in the archaeological and evolutionary past. While a broad, four-field approach is emphasized in the program, the curriculum prepares students for graduate studies and employment in cultural anthropology, biological anthropology, linguistic anthropology, archaeology, or cultural resource management.
