Anthropology is the study of human beings and seeks to understand humankind from millions of years ago to the present day. Anthropology examines the human condition in scientific and interpretive ways, providing students with the tools to understand cultural diversity and solve pressing problems associated with cross-cultural communication. The Anthropology program at Auburn University takes a four-field approach to the study of the human condition, offering courses in archaeology, physical anthropology, cultural anthropology, and linguistic anthropology.
