What is Anthropology?
Interest in anthropology is growing. From 1987 to 1997 the number
of anthropology majors increased 109%. In the last two years alone,
the number of bachelor’s degrees awarded in anthropology
has increased by 56% nationwide.
National Public Radio reports
that the World Bank is restructuring and plans to hire fewer
economists and more anthropologists to make their projects more
relevant and
cost-effective. In its Money section, the February 18, 1999 edition of USA Today ran
a cover story titled "Hot
Asset in Corporate America: Anthropology Degrees." The 1999
edition of Newsweek’s Career and Graduate School Guide
lists anthropology as a career track that’s "up"
and one of the "hot careers” of the future.
