"I have always had an interest in the different cultures and languages throughout the world. CU-Boulder’s anthropology department is one of the best in the nation. We have faculty from all over the world who do their field studies in many countries all over the world as well. They are then able to apply the things that they learn in the field to their lectures and teach their students all about it. It’s like we’re doing the cultural studies with them, and travelling with them as well. The majority of the information that professors are teaching you is first hand, and they are experiences that they probably had on their last cultural study or excavation." - Morgan Piper, Anthropology |

…oh my! “What makes the elephant charge his tusk in the misty-mist of the dusky dusk?” If you want to figure out how to translate this line from The Wizard of Oz into Mandarin or Slavonic, then languages are for you. If you want to understand the significance and influence of elephants in human folklore, then a study of cultures (anthropology? sociology?) is for you. If you want to learn how to write cool works like The Wizard of Oz, then humanities is for you.
