Department Summary
UNT's Department of Anthropology focuses on the subfield known as "cultural anthropology." Culture shapes every aspect of human life, from how we understand "identity," who we think of as family, the foods that we eat, and the religious or spiritual practices that we engage in. However, rather than teaching a collection of "facts" about different cultures, cultural anthropology at UNT teaches students how to think like an anthropologist--how to ask questions, look beyond the surface, and make sense of the world in a different way. UNT Anthropology is one of the leading departments in the nation centered around the practice of applied anthropology, or the application of anthropological methods, theories, and insights to address real world problems.
