Anthropology At Foothill College


Foothill Ecuador Program
Click for larger image.
The Department of Anthropology at Foothill College offers an excellent range of courses that expose students to all facets of anthropology, including cultural anthropology, archaeology, human evolution, forensics, medical anthropology, magic and religion, lost civilizations, and modern and ancient cultures of California and the world. Our faculty prepare students for anthropology majors in 4-year institutions, take students on archaeology field schools, direct independent study projects, offer an AA degree and certificates, teach honor’s sections, and give students the ability to apply what they learn in the community around them.

Silicon Valley is the hub of global technology change and its people are in the business of redefining traditional cultural barriers with technology.  As the world increasingly becomes integrated it is important that we understand ourselves and others from an anthropological perspective.  Employers look to see that you have developed the tools necessary to compete in the world today.  You are the next generation of anthropology students, those that understand the new world in which we live and use that knowledge to improve our way of life.
