Anthropology/Archaeology students at Mercyhurst University are provided with training in the broad field of Anthropology, as well as options for specialized training in Archaeology, Bioarchaeology, or Sociocultural Anthropology. Our emphasis on highly individualized mentoring, hands-on instruction, intercultural research, and communication skills affords excellent career flexibility and leads to work and educational opportunities in a wide variety of corporate, government, non-profit, museum, educational, and other settings. All Anthropology/Archaeology students complete 9 required departmental core courses (28 credits), Statistics (3 credits), and successfully complete the intermediate level of a foreign language (3-9 credits). Students seeking a general B.A. in Anthropology/ Archaeology must complete an additional 3 required departmental methods and materials courses (9-13 credits), Physical Geology and Lab (4 credits), and 5 additional Anthropology/Archaeology courses numbered above 200. Like the other degree tracks, student receive a broad anthropology background. However, our no-concentration track students do not need to choose a particular concentration.
