Mission

In the CSUS Department of Anthropology, our mission is threefold: 1) to advance knowledge about anthropology through the instruction of undergraduate and graduate students; 2) to promote and cultivate original scholarship on issues of anthropological interest; and, 3) to disseminate anthropological knowledge to the broader Sacramento community.  We aspire to give students the means to understand and respect the variety of human experiences and to develop the critical thinking skills that are necessary for participation in and active engagement of contemporary society.
