Many Anthropology majors attend graduate school, although not necessarily in anthropology, since the B.A. in Anthropology is not narrowly constructed to prepare students only for graduate study. Anthropology provides a good background for a wide variety of people-oriented occupations. The cross-cultural and comparative perspectives offered by anthropology constitute excellent preparation for a career in government, international development, personnel management, human services, sales and marketing, and teaching. Also, as high schools begin to introduce anthropology courses into the curriculum, the need for teachers with a strong foundation in anthropology is increasing. At present, the demand for anthropologists at the B.A. level (particularly archaeologists and biological anthropologists) is rapidly increasing for jobs in cultural resource management, the health care field, and international programs.
