<p>“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?”</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>“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?”</p>
<p>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.</p>
