Mission Anthropology is the study of humankind in the broadest sense. Our faculty and PhD students specialize in three subfields: archaeology, sociocultural anthropology, and Integrative Anthropological Sciences (evolutionary, biological and cultural). We offer BA degrees with an emphasis in archaeology, biological anthropology, sociocultural anthropology and a general anthropology degree covering all emphasis subfields. For over half a century, the Department of Anthropology at UCSB has been an active and vibrant center of research, mentorship and teaching. We invite you to join us.
