Anthropology

Channel | updated May 14, 2013

As part of the School of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences, Anthropology's undergraduate offerings span a broad range of time and space: from ancient societies known from history and pre-history, to tribal and peasant communities, to contemporary industrial and scientific cultures.

The graduate offerings in Anthropology focus on science and technology as part of the Doctoral Program in History, Anthropology, and Science, Technology and Society (HASTS). For more information, visit http://web.mit.edu/hasts/index.html.
