The Anthropology program at College of DuPage enables students to explore the cultural, physical and prehistorical aspects of human beings. Anthropological fieldwork can help students delve into a career, culture or aspect of life that is a particular interest.

Please note: A reading placement test is not required for students entering the Anthropology program or courses.
