SIU - Edwardsville
Do your students want to make a difference in the world? Tell them to consider majoring in anthropology where they will study human biology, culture, and humans of the past and present.
Research shows people today will change careers seven times throughout their lifetime. Whatever careers your students choose, they will work with other people. If they approach those people with the attitude of an anthropologist—with curiosity, openness and a desire to understand—they will have opportunities to make life better for themselves, their communities, and all the people they interact with.
SIUE Anthropology graduates have found fulfilling careers in diverse fields, including:
- Archaeology
- Museums
- Forensics
- GIS
- Law
- Immigration
- Applied health fields
- Human resources
And more!

Southern Illinois University Edwardsville exists in and serves a region that includes the lands of the Kiikaapoi (treaty in Edwardsville, 1819); The Illinois Confederacy, including the Peoria, Kaskaskia, Michigamea, Cahokia, and Tamaroa (treaty in Edwardsville, 1818); Dhegiha Siouan peoples; and others. We affirm their contemporary and ancestral ties to the land and their contributions to this place.
