Anthropology @ SMU
Anthropology is the study of what it means to be human. The discipline is at the crossroads of science and humanities.
Anthropology has long been one of the strongest programs at SMU.
We help students build their cultural competency, critical thinking, and global skill sets to best prepare them for life after graduation.
