Anthropology, B.A.

The Anthropology major at California State University San Marcos is an applied, collaborative, and interdisciplinary course of study that engages students directly with the interests and efforts of local communities.

The Anthropology major takes into primary consideration the unique role of Cal State San Marcos in the north San Diego County region and the opportunities for community-based research and fieldwork. CSUSM anthropology students gain hands-on field research experience through participation in long-term and ongoing anthropological and archeological research among some of San Diego County’s diverse communities. Collaborative partnerships with community organizations and agencies enhance anthropology majors’ learning experiences. The major distinguishes itself through long-term collaborative research projects that promote local communities’ interests, and practice complementary exchange between the University and the community. Through an engaged and innovative curriculum that responds to state and regional needs, the anthropology program trains students in qualitative and quantitative research methods, including ethnography, participant observation, ethnographic film, social documentation, ethnomedicine, ethnobotany, survey, and applied archaeology.
