Anthropology                    


Lock Haven students take anthropology as part of their general education courses,
as required or elective courses in several majors and as a minor. Anthropology courses prepare you to understand and deal effectively with cultural diversity. In Introduction to Anthropology students learn about all four subfields- Physical, Archeology, Linguistics and Cultural. Our other courses concentrate on Cultural Anthropology and students can take area courses in Latin America, Japan and the Middle East and learn about the diverse and fascinating lives of Native Americans and women in the developing world. Our professors enrich their courses with extensive research experience in Egypt, Tunisia, Thailand, the Philippines, Mesoamerica and Peru.

Our Faculty

The quality of your education depends on the quality of the faculty. At LHU, you will be
taught by professors who are dedicated to your success, not graduate assistants. All sociology and anthropology faculty have doctoral degrees from well-respected universities.
All remain professionally involved by doing research and presenting papers at conferences organized by the American Sociological Association, the Pennsylvania Sociological Society, the Popular Culture and American Culture Association, the National Association of Native American Studies and others. You can count on your professors always to be available to help you understand the coursework and answer other questions about your career.
