<p>What are some pros and cons of the anthro program for someone interested in biological anthropology and archaeology?</p>
<p>Archaeology at Penn is sort of split between Anthropology and Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations, and I think most of them are in the latter department. A close family friend is a PhD Archaeology student in the Anthropology department, and so far (she is in her second year) she likes it fine. She chose it over some other attractive programs. I don’t know anything about biological anthropology there, though, since her attitude towards that verges on complete lack of interest. But I have no idea whether she is typical or an outlier.</p>
<p>I think I may have posted this link for you in another thread, but in case I didn’t, this page discusses the possible concentrations within an undergraduate Anthropology major at Penn, including both archaeology and biological anthropology:</p>

<p>Be sure to also check out the resources, programs, and offerings of the Penn Museum, which is a major contributor to the international eminence of Penn’s Anthropolgy Department:</p>

<p>UPenn does seem to be a good choice… If everything is as the webpage says. Could anyone tell me what the webpage can’t?</p>
