The Anthropology undergraduate program offers an interdisciplinary education aimed at examining the human being from a holistic perspective, encompassing biological, cultural, and historical dimensions. The program supports students in developing critical thinking skills on topics such as human evolution, social structures, cultural diversity, language and symbolic systems, archaeological heritage, and biological diversity. In addition to theoretical knowledge, students gain competencies in conducting fieldwork, laboratory practices, and analyzing current social issues. Graduates are equipped to work as qualified professionals in academia, museology, cultural heritage management, human rights, the health sector, and various research institutions.

Program Objectives:

- They successfully pursue their professional careers in academic, public, or private sectors by assuming roles as researchers, practitioners, or educators, utilizing the theoretical and practical knowledge they have gained in the fields of biological and cultural anthropology.

- They produce scientific knowledge based on qualitative research methods and ethical principles in subfields such as paleoanthropology, physical anthropology, forensic anthropology, and social anthropology through fieldwork, laboratory studies, and archival research.

- They approach the relationship between humans and culture from a non-ethnocentric, multicultural, and critical perspective; they understand and interpret cultural differences objectively.

- They analyze the biological and cultural diversity of past and present societies in historical and contemporary contexts and contribute to projects aimed at understanding this diversity.

- They develop an interdisciplinary perspective by relating anthropological theories to various fields; they conduct holistic and critical analyses by drawing from disciplines such as medicine, forensic sciences, geology, sociology, and archaeology.

- They follow scientific and technological developments and take part in team-based work related to excavations, skeletal analysis, fossil evaluation, and faunal analysis in a collaborative and harmonious manner.

- They access up-to-date resources in the field of anthropology and are able to share academic knowledge with national and international stakeholders in at least one foreign language.

- They develop an awareness of the protection and transmission of cultural heritage to future generations, and they assume duties and responsibilities in national and international projects for this purpose.

- They share their anthropological knowledge and skills with public institutions, museums, and non-governmental organizations, and participate in national and international teamwork.

- With an awareness of lifelong learning, they maintain their professional development and gain skills in information access tools, bibliography writing, archiving, and cataloging.

Education and training are conducted through formal instruction. In addition, fieldwork is carried out in anthropological and archaeological excavations with the participation of volunteer students.

In line with the student-centered education approach, alternative measurement and evaluation tools and methods that demonstrate students' progress during the course and their achievement of learning outcomes at the end of the course are used to evaluate students. In addition to the student-centered approach, a competency-based approach is also adopted in the measurement and evaluation processes. Assessment and evaluation processes are conducted in accordance with the Hitit University Associate and Bachelor's Degree Education, Teaching, and Examination Regulations, and the Hitit University Regulations/Guidelines on the Conduct of Distance Learning Courses and Examinations.

A student's success in a course is determined by their course grade. The principles for calculating the grade based on the absolute and/or relative evaluation system and the grading system principles applied in the University are regulated by the Senate.

The letter grades with the following expansions and coefficients are used in calculating grades.

The following table is used for letter grades and coefficients:

For the supervision of higher education programs:

The Council of Higher Education (YÖK) is responsible for the planning, organization, publication, and supervision of education, training, and other information provided during higher education.

“University Monitoring and Evaluation Reports” are published annually for higher education institutions, within the framework of deductions provided by the Council of Higher Education. These reports, which include quantitative and qualitative evaluations of higher education programs, are prepared based on these reports and shared with the public by the Council of Higher Education.

The Council of Higher Education publishes academic, administrative, and financial data for foundation higher education institutions annually, including the “Foundation Higher Education Institutions Report.” These reports, which include both positive and qualitative evaluations of foundation higher education institutions, are shared with the public by the Council of Higher Education. Quality assurance of undergraduate programs in higher education is provided in accordance with the "Procedures and Principles for Ensuring Quality Assurance of Higher Education Diploma Programs."
