Hi, I'm Dr. Janni Pedersen, a faculty member
here at Ashford University's College of Liberal
Arts.
The Bachelor of Arts in Cultural Anthropology
helps prepare students for rapid change and
extensive interaction across cultures and
countries, which can be helpful in business,
education, politics, and more.
Courses in this program investigate how various
cultures live, govern, and create meaning.
Human diversity is examined, along with methods
to collect and assess anthropological data.
Crucial questions of cultural and ecological
preservation are also addressed.
Many of the faculty members in this program
carry out interesting work in anthropology.
They help students make better choices by
teaching them how to better evaluate background,
statements, and context.
My own anthropological background includes
having worked with bonobo apes who acquired
understanding of spoken English, something
many students enjoy learning about.
The Bachelor of Arts in Cultural Anthropology
teaches students to value the humanity in
every culture.
I really enjoy being part of the amazing group
of faculty and engaged students in our program.
