Feature Stories
Bryce Slinger talks about how Macalester's Anthropology Department prepared him for the Peace Corps.
The anthropology department emphasizes the holistic study of the human condition.
Our students’ interests range from world cultures and global challenges, to human rights and human origins. Students in Macalester’s Anthropology Department travel the world studying cultures, globalization, environmental issues, public health issues, identity, ethnography, and the practice of anthropology. Students may major or minor in anthropology.
