Schools with good Anthropology programs?

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Hey, I need some help lol. </p>

<p>I really want to study Cultural anthropology and minor in either classical studies, ancient history, or something along those lines. </p>

<p>I am a junior with a 3.8 GPA (going up this year with my AP classes). I'd like a smaller liberal arts college anywhere in the US. Oh and somewhere with good study abroad programs would be great, but not necessary. </p>

<p>I just need help because it's really hard to find anywhere with a cultural anthropology major, let alone know what the good schools are. </p>

<p>Thanks so much!</p>

<p>Good anthropology/classics LACs:</p>

<p>Amherst
Bard
Barnard
Beloit
Bowdoin
Bryn Mawr
Carleton
Colgate
College of Wooster (I know two professors here- awesome program)
Davidson
Franklin & Marshall
Grinnell
Hamilton
Haverford
Kenyon
Oberlin
Reed
Sarah Lawrence
Smith
Vassar
Wellesley
Wesleyan
Williams</p>

<p>Although it's not a LAC, Rice (3000 students) would be worth checking out. It has a good anthropology program and an interdisciplinary Ancient Mediterranean Civilization major. Dartmouth is a bit larger (4000 students) but maintains a small school feel and has excellent programs in both areas.</p>

<p>I plan to go to grad school, but most of my fellow majors go into law, medicine, journalism, i-banking, etc. I know a Classics major who just started at Stanford Law and a Medieval Studies major who got a job at Goldman Sachs!</p>

<p>Arizona is supposed to be one of the best in the country, and with stats like that, you could probably get a small scholarship.</p>

<p>It's not an LAC, but still worth looking at.</p>
