<p>tk, as a former anthro major, I just have to say that when you’re choosing an anthro program you have to be very careful about where you pick. All professors have their specializations and they should really only be teaching about what they know (their specializations). </p>
<p>My large, top 100 research U had very limited course offerings on linguistic and physical anthro because that just wasn’t the faculty they hired. Which is fine, I wanted cultural anthro and they had that in spades. If I had wanted to focus on linguistic anthro, I would’ve gone somewhere else. </p>
<p>This is why it’s important to not just “fit” with a college, but to make sure that whatever it is you want to study (if you have an idea) is offered there- and that you check out the courses and faculty, not just the program overview. </p>
