NKU offers many avenues for students who wish to pursue studies in Anthropology.

The department offers two major options. Students may choose to pursue either a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Anthropology. Both degrees have the same core requirements but also allow you to tailor your course work to your interests and career goals.

We also offer a minor in Anthropology, Archaeology, Celtic Studies, Native American Studies, and Ancient Civilizations.

Finally, we offer an Area of Concentration in Anthropology.
