A concentration in anthropology provides a broad comparative overview
of the varieties of human thought and action as the basis of a general
liberal arts education. The social anthropology track is excellent
preparation for a career in law, business, international relations,
and related fields. The biological anthropology track provides an
excellent concentration for premedical students seeking broad training
relevant to the health sciences. Both tracks may also serve as preparation
for graduate study and a professional career in anthropology (from
the Boston University Undergraduate Bulletin online, www.bu.edu/bulletins/und/item13d5.html).
