Welcome to Anthropology

ANTHROPOLOGY at the University of Northern Colorado will provide you with the knowledge of how, when, and where human life arose, and why cultures have evolved along varied pathways. Are you interested in learning more about diverse cultures, religions, and worldviews?

If so, ANTHROPOLOGY is the program for you.

Mission Statement

We at UNC seek to make sense of the human world and also engage with others to solve complicated social and environmental problems. We cross cultural boundaries, examine the archaeological record, investigate our primate and hominid past, and question what the future holds. We guide students in applying cultural anthropology, archaeology, linguistics, and physical anthropology as professionals and scholars in a collaborative environment.
