Why Earn an Anthropology Degree from USU Online
USU Online’s bachelor’s in anthropology is one of the few online anthropology programs in the country. This applied program emphasizes the value of internships and practicum experiences in private, non-profit, and corporate organizations. Your participation in such experiences will kickstart your professional development by introducing new skills and strengthen existing skills, making you a competitive candidate as you prepare to enter professional settings upon graduation.
I'll study Urban and Regional Planning this fall. To qualify for my master's program, I needed experience analyzing human behavior, equity, ecology, geography, historical preservation, and more. I learned these skills from my undergraduate in Anthropology and am a better innovator because of these interdisciplinary skills.
