Anthropology is different from other disciplines because it introduces students to a holistic way of study, using many sub-disciplines in order to interpret empirical data in the broadest possible sense.

              Anthropology consists of four main disciplines which are:

              Physical Anthropology, also called Biological Anthropology

              Cultural Anthropology

              Linguistic Anthropology

              Archaeology

The core concept of the discipline of anthropology is culture.  Culture is learned, shared, symbolic, integrative, and dynamic – never static.  Studying a multitude of cultural concepts enables students to view the complexity of world cultures through a wider lens.  This is so important in our globalized world; and it makes anthropology a relevant and progressive discipline pertinent to many other areas of research.
