“So, I take it at the undergrad level the Anthro degree is broad based so they get a well rounded education in the area. After that the areas of concentration come. Am I correct?”

That is correct. Of course, undergrads can specialize to an extent, but it is always best to get a broad understanding of one’s chosen field of study.

“I know MSU has a good program and is supposedly better than U of M, but how do I find out? How do we find other schools that offer Antrho programs?”

mjmgrcc, the University of Michigan department of Anthropology is almost always ranked #1 in the nation, so I very much doubt that MSU’s department is better.

Below are a couple of links to some of the nation’s top research Anthropology departments:
