Anthropology includes four broad subfields, all of which are currently taught at UCR.

Sociocultural Anthropology is the comparative study of communities in their local and global contexts;
Archaeology investigates past societies through their material and written remains;
Biological Anthropology focuses on the evolution of the human as a species and the interaction of human biological variability with culture;
Linguistic Anthropology explores the interconnections of language, culture, thought, and social structure.
