Anthropologists ask the questions:
since human groups are all 
biologically the same,
what makes us so diverse?
Why are our cultures so different?
How do human groups adapt to,
survive, and thrive in their 
ever-changing environments?
In order to answer these questions,
Anthropologists look at all kinds of human
societies.
Ancient ruins that can only be studied
through archaeological digs.
Remote villages with traditional cultures.
Big city neighborhoods.
International businesses.
Refugee camps.
Anywhere humans have made a society,
Anthropologists go to investigate.
Anthropology majors are tremendously
curious,
and keen observers of human behavior.
At Georgia State, they sharpen their
understanding through learning new skills:
ethnographic interviewing,
data collection and analysis,
even forensics and 
archaeological excavation.
Anthropologists - 
by definition -
can't do all of their work in the
classroom or lab.
Our majors work in the diverse communities
of Atlanta, often through internships at
organizations including The Carter Center,
refugee resettlement groups,
hospitals, museums, and
advertising research firms.
Many students choose to go abroad through
the department's programs in Italy, Greece,
Mexico, Peru, Guatemala, and Brazil.
There's a myth that Anthropology majors
can't find good jobs - a myth that
probably stems from the fact that our
graduates pursue so many different
careers.
Anthropologists become journalists,
doctors, lawyers, teachers, social workers,
museum curators, community development
experts,
public administrators, even
technology designers.
Understanding and explaining human
behavior are skills that are always
in demand.
So if you're fascinated by humans,
by our universal similarities and
our endless differences,
consider the Anthropology major.
Curiosity welcome!
