The Bachelor of Science in Anthropology is a concentration in biological anthropology. It is designed to cultivate one of the particular strengths of Emory's Anthropology department. While the degree requires training in general Anthropology, it has a clear emphasis in the area of human biology.
Emory's Anthropology department specializes in Biological Anthropology and Cultural Anthropology. This two field approach reflects the common intellectual interest of the department to promote the interaction between biology and culture. This major is designed, in part, to establish an alternative pre-medical curriculum. The Anthropology department believes that future physicians will benefit from exposure to (at least) three perspectives in anthropology:
The biological perspective which emphasizes the importance of our evolutionary heritage in shaping behavior, the developmental process, and social relations;
The social scientific perspective which provides a methodology for understanding the complex interactions between human behavior and biology.
The humanistic perspective which emphasizes the cultural coherence of human values, beliefs and symbols and their importance for particular social groups.
