SOC 290 - Cultural Anthropology(4 credits)
General Education Requirement / Option: (general education option under social science or cross-cultural studies. Cannot count toward meeting both requirements)
An introduction to the study of humanity across time and space, comparing societies and cultures to identify likenesses and differences. The study of anthropology develops an appreciation for the diverse ways human beings have approached universal situations: relationships between individuals and groups, adaptations to physical and economic environments, approaches to the infinite. Western and non-Western cultures are studied, ethnographic fieldwork goals and techniques discussed, and problems of ethnocentrism and culture change addressed.
