Welcome to the Department of Anthropology at Michigan State University. Over the last 10 years, the Department of Anthropology has changed in several important ways that will enable us to reach new and higher levels of excellence. We have added a number of new faculty, we more actively engage both undergraduates and graduate students in research, and we have focused our programs on our considerable strengths.  
unearthed skull     Anthropology faculty represent all four traditional subfields of the discipline (sociocultural anthropology, linguistic anthropology, biological/physical anthropology, and archaeology). We have particular geographic expertise in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and North America. Across these geographic areas, the department has programmatic emphases in the study of culture, resources, and power; medical anthropology; forensic anthropology and skeletal biology; and archaeology.
