In addition to performing research in conventional laboratories, anthropologists also conduct research in field sites. Students are strongly encouraged to participate in ethnographic archaeological and physical anthropological endeavors, many of which are sponsored on Long Island, the greater metropolitan region, Central America, and selected overseas locations including Thailand, India, Israel, Cyprus, and Greece.
Anthropology students are expected to become versed in the theories and practices central to the anthropological perspective. With this in mind, curriculum of the department focuses on developing those skills essential to the discipline. Further, the curriculum focuses on developing those student skills essential for the understanding of the interdisciplinary relationships between anthropology, social and natural sciences, the humanities, and arts. The skills acquired through the study of anthropology are transferable to other social sciences and to the larger world.

The student may select from any other courses offered by the Anthropology Department to complete the major, subject only to the restriction that at least one course beyond the introductory level must be taken in each of the three areas of cultural anthropology, physical anthropology, and archaeology. In addition, students must take 6 credits in sociology. In consultation with the advisor 3 credits will be accepted toward the anthropology major from outside the department offerings. The field of anthropology is closely related to a number of other offerings at Adelphi, thus providing many opportunities for double majors, especially in education and training of environmental studies professions. Students should contact the department concerning their individual needs.
