<p>I was referring to cultural anthropology specifically, but you do have a point in saying that many schools only offer a degree in general anthropology. I think the two look quite different on job applications, i.e. cultural anthropology sounds fancier and catches the eye, but maybe that’s just because I’ve never reviewed an actual job application.</p>
<p>I didn’t know that about UCLA. It sounds like they offer specializations within the major, if the OP is thinking of cultural anthropology.</p>
<p>In any case, I stand by my advice to pick the major you prefer.</p>
