Anthropology is the study of the origin, development, and behavior of human beings. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics expects employment of anthropologists and archaeologists to grow by 28% between 2008 and 2018, faster than the average for all other occupations.

Undergraduate and graduate degree programs in anthropology examine the languages, archaeological remains, and physical characteristics of people in various parts of the world, both past and present civilizations. Typical coursework may include study of:

• Data-Collection and Research Methods
• Language and Culture
• Gender Studies
• Religious Studies
• Culture and Interpretation
• Forensic Anthropology
• Archeology and Human Evolution

Specialization is available in a number of areas like sociocultural, linguistics, biological, and physical anthropology. Some Anthropologists may also focus on current human issues, including overpopulation, warfare, and poverty.
