There are eighteen anthropology professors at NKU. Seven full-time professors, ten part-time professors, and one emeritus professor serve about 100 anthropology majors; additional minors in anthropology, archaeology, Native American studies, and Celtic studies (as well as students with an area of concentration in anthropology); additional students who major or minor in the dozens of other disciplines and interdisciplinary programs in which anthropology participates with its courses (and thus puts the global in interdisciplinary); and thousands of other NKU students in a diverse, learner-centered environment that meshes teaching, research and publication, and service to the community, the university, and the profession.
Anthropology’s courses exist within these more than two dozen other NKU programs: aging studies, ancient civilizations, black studies, Celtic studies, Chinese studies, cinema studies, construction management, elementary education, environmental science, environmental studies, evolutionary studies, general education, Grant County Center, history, honors, integrative studies, international studies, Japanese studies, Latin American and Caribbean studies, Medieval and Renaissance studies, middle grades education, Native American studies, neuroscience, PACE program, popular culture, pre-physician assistant studies, religious studies, social justice studies, social studies for secondary education, sociology, study abroad, and women’s and gender studies.
NKU has more undergraduate anthropology majors than any other public or private college or university in the entire Commonwealth of Kentucky and the Greater Cincinnati tri-state region. The goal of our award-winning faculty is to offer the best in undergraduate anthropology education. Our purpose is to make learning accessible to anyone who strives to learn.
