Anthropology is commonly defined as “the study of humankind”. Anthropologists conduct this study by focusing on humanity’s most unique and essential attribute: culture. At Mt. Hood Community College, human culture is explored and explained via introductory coursework reflecting various anthropological subdisciplines as well as courses on specific topics.

Curricular Outcomes

At the completion of this curriculum, the student should be able to:

• apply knowledge of human behavior and social phenomena to social and community issues
• recognize the values, behaviors and viewpoints of diverse populations
