The Department of Anthropology at Notre Dame is committed to a multidimensional inquiry into what it is to be human—past and present, nearby and distant. Notre Dame’s Anthropology program explores the richness and diversity of the discipline by building bridges between various humanistic and scientific approaches. We seek to involve faculty and students in integrative anthropology, including engagement with different anthropological and interdisciplinary perspectives, integration of theory and application, and integration of teaching, research, and ethics. We train undergraduate and graduate students to harness these strengths in basic research, in effective teaching, and in the application of anthropology both inside and outside of academia. The department's research and doctoral training program emphasizes the integration of the major anthropological subfields: archaeology, sociocultural anthropology, biological anthropology, and linguistic anthropology. This is seen in faculty research, graduate education, and undergraduate curriculum.

With 20 departments across the humanities, arts, and social sciences, the College of Arts and Letters is home to exceptional faculty and talented students who are studying what they love. It's an environment to ask big questions, read classic texts, and explore languages and cultures.

We're not just about learning through acquisition. We're about learning through exploration. Our undergraduate students travel the globe to research topics that fascinate them, then turn their observations into conclusions about the world.

Through the liberal arts, you learn to read deeply. Think about issues critically. Discuss topics thoughtfully. Write arguments persuasively. Contribute to projects creatively. And these abilities aren't just vital in the classroom—they're exactly what employers, graduate schools, and service organizations are looking for.
