Anthropology has been taught at the University of Arkansas-Fayetteville since 1925. The Archeological Field School began in 1949, and a few courses were taught as a part of Zoology from 1925-1949 by S. Dellinger who was Curator of the University Museum and chair of the Zoology Department. Fred Voget joined the University in 1947, and Charles R. McGimsey III came in 1957. For a few years there was

a combined Department of Sociology and Anthropology. In 1969 the Department became independent with McGimsey as chair. Anthropology is a department in the Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences. The Department of Anthropology offers many approaches to the various subfields and topics within anthropology. Our program draws upon the strengths of 17 department-based faculty members as well as 15 Ph.D.-holding archeologists within the Arkansas Archeological Survey who have graduate faculty status with the U of A. As well as offering BA, MA and PhD degrees, the Department cooperates in an interdisciplinary PhD program in Environmental Dynamics.
