anthropology

USF St Petersburg (USFSP) offers a BA degree in Anthropology. Our university currently offers all the required coursework needed to complete a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in the USF system. Our class sizes are small to ensure that you recieve a quality education with faculty who have the time to ensure your interests are met. Our faculty stress the four-field approach to anthropology emphasizing equally cultural, biological, linguistic, and archaeological studies, with particular geographical interest in Latin America and Africa.
