Primary Function of Organizational Unit

The UNCW Department of Anthropology
offers a BA degree in Anthropology, a Minor in Anthropology and an Interdisciplinary Minor in Forensic Science and an Interdisciplinary
Minor in Medical Humanities. Our program includes an array of courses designed to provide students an overview of the discipline, and a
thorough grounding in archaeology, biological anthropology, and cultural anthropology. Because there is a strong cross-cultural and
comparative focus in Anthropology, students are encouraged to develop competence in a foreign language and to broaden their cultural
horizons by participating in study abroad programs. Through participation in field studies and laboratory research projects of faculty
mentors, undergraduate students have opportunities to engage in “hands-on” research; sharpen analytical skills; and to develop competence in
the use of research instruments and information technology that are essential aspects of the undergraduate experience in
anthropology.

College/School Information

The College of Arts and Sciences is UNCW’s largest academic unit and
awards approximately two-thirds of the university’s academic credits. Ours is a comprehensive arts and sciences college comprising the arts,
the humanities, the mathematical and natural sciences, and the social and behavioral sciences.

The College’s twenty-five units offer
a variety of undergraduate majors leading to the Bachelor of Arts, the Bachelor of Fine Arts, the Bachelor of Music, and the Bachelor of
Science. The College also offers a full complement of minors, including interdisciplinary minors such as Africana studies, Asian studies,
Forensic studies, Latin America studies, Middle East & Islamic studies, Native-American studies, and Women’s and Gender studies, among
others.

Applied learning is a hallmark of the student experience in the College of Arts and Sciences. Each of the College’s
departments requires an applied learning experience as a part of the curriculum for its undergraduate majors. Examples include
faculty-directed research, internships, service learning, and capstone courses and projects, all of which challenge students to integrate
various strands of knowledge and to apply that knowledge to broader, real-world or real disciplinary situations. Through applied learning,
students in the College gain direct hands-on experience with the skills of their major fields as an essential part of their preparation for
life and career.

In addition to its undergraduate major and minor programs, the College is chiefly responsible for the curriculum
that comprises the UNCW’s University Studies Program, through which all UNCW undergraduates gain a foundation in the liberal arts and
develop the transferable skills essential for life in the twenty-first century. The College strives in its undergraduate programs and in its
University Study offerings to nurture creative thinking, intellectual curiosity, diversity and inclusion, and academic integrity in students
while providing them with a solid foundation of knowledge in their chosen fields. Upon completion of their undergraduate studies, College of
Arts and Sciences students will have the necessary preparation for rewarding careers, advanced study, effective citizenship, and meaningful
lives.

Graduate degrees awarded in the College of Arts and Sciences include the Master of Arts, the Master of Fine Arts, the Master
of Public Administration, the Master of Science and the Doctor of Philosophy (Marine Biology and Psychology). In addition, the nationally
awarded Graduate Liberal Studies program offers a personalized curriculum of interdisciplinary study leading to the Master of Arts.
Post-baccalaureate certificates in Applied Statistics, Environmental Studies, Forensic Science, Conflict Management and Resolution, Gender
Studies and Hispanic Studies are available. Graduate programs in the College are designed to develop intellectual competence and to prepare
the student for careers in business, industry, government, teaching or for further study at the doctoral level.
