Culture exists everywhere: in families, societies, and workplaces.

Sociocultural anthropology and linguistic anthropology explore the relations, meanings, practices, and values that help explain why we do what we do. Developing the skills that allow you to gain deeper insights into cultural patterns and practices can help you succeed in your university courses, and your future career path.
