About Us
Known for its leadership in innovative education and research, the School of Human Evolution and Social Change goes beyond the scope that traditionally defines the study of anthropology. By building upon the discipline’s chief strength — its holistic, long-term perspective, we recognize a vast range of interests, academic fields and research methods. The school integrates advanced tools and knowledge from across the sciences and social sciences to discover not only who we were but where we are going and how we may alter our destiny.
While the school is home to some of the nation's top-ranked anthropology programs, we are not your typical anthropology department, as you can tell by the name.
From anthropologists, mathematicians and geographers, to sociologists, economists and natural scientists, our diverse faculty are defining revolutionary approaches to long-standing questions and contemporary issues challenging humankind. Whether your interests lean toward classic four-field anthropology or cutting-edge transdisciplinary research, the School of Human Evolution and Social Change is the place to prepare to make a difference.
