Welcome

The Department of Anthropology and Interdisciplinary Programs (AIP) is an academic and activist space for students committed to engaging issues ranging from global economic inequality in the past and the present, to peace building in war-torn societies, to gender and racial justice globally and locally.

The Department is perched at an exciting and vital moment in higher education, as it prepares students with the cross-cultural and global perspective necessary for a range of careers from engineering, education, heritage management (i.e. museums and public archaeology) to public health and allied professions.

Dedicated to pursuing an antiracist, intersectional, and anticolonial pedagogy, the Department supports the intellectual and creative pursuits of our students and our faculty as they develop their regional, thematic, and theoretical interests.

The AIP department has four programs:

Anthropology

International and Global Studies

Latin American and Latino Studies

Women's and Gender Studies

Degrees available:
•  Undergraduate B.A. major
•  Undergraduate minor
*Women's and Gender Studies only offers a minor

For further advisement, reach out to the Colin Powell School advising team.
