Welcome to the Department of Anthropology at Florida State University. Anthropology is a dynamic and interdisciplinary field that combines archaeology, biological anthropology, cultural anthropology and more. The department trains students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels to explore the complexities of human societies, past and present, by employing a variety of research methods and theoretical perspectives.
For more than 75 years, the anthropology department has helped students develop critical thinking, research, and communication skills that are essential in a rapidly changing world. Faculty members represent a wide range of expertise and are at the forefront of anthropological research both nationally and internationally. Together, they are committed to producing innovative scholarship and preparing the next generation of anthropologists. The department is proud to support its graduate students through funding opportunities and fieldwork, as they contribute to the growth of the discipline.
