The combined Anthropology and Geography program seeks to provide students with an interdisciplinary understanding of human societies and the environments they inhabit. By integrating the study of human cultures, behaviors, and histories with the physical and spatial dimensions of geography, we aim to foster a holistic perspective on the complexities of human interaction with the natural world. Our program emphasizes critical thinking, research skills, and a commitment to sustainability, preparing students to address contemporary global challenges such as climate change, migration, urbanization, and cultural preservation. Through hands-on learning, fieldwork, and collaborative projects, we empower students to become informed, adaptable, and engaged global citizens.
