Anthropology is the scientific study of human being in totality, pertaining to the social, cultural and biological aspects. The B.Sc. and M.Sc. program in Anthropology at Amity University represents the first program in the country. The primary focus is to provide students with a comprehensive training in the various biological aspects of human beings.
Keeping in tune with the development in the educational strategies around the globe, Amity University is pioneering courses in application oriented subjects. The establishment of the Amity Institute of Anthropology (AIA) has been an outcome of this visionary approach of our Founder President Dr. Ashok K. Chauhan, which aims at catering to the needs of the community it serves and providing its students with a competitive edge in their professional pursuits. The mission of the AIA is to equip the students with extraordinary skills for life, making them not just job seekers, but also job creators.
Amity assists in developing interdisciplinary and professional skills in the graduate and postgraduate students along with imbibing ethical and moral values in them and to develop a core competency that enables individuals in their personal and professional growth.
The courses are so structured as to provide an active learning experience, utilizing a problem-solving framework, rather than utilize a particular theory or set of methods. A particular problem is discoursed and analyzed in order to understand it and a remedy is planned that helps in its alleviation.
