The Future of Academic Anthropology

The UCF Department of Anthropology represents the future of academic anthropology. The department has a four-field and interdisciplinary approach in archaeology, ethnography, forensics and osteology. Through its combination of face-to-face interaction, web delivery and old-style field research, with both undergraduate and graduate students, the department seeks to advance anthropological concepts by actively investigating questions of relevance to the modern world.
