I have a B.Sc. and I specialized in physical anthropology, and I agree with safmoor - it is fascinating. There are four branches of anthropology and physical anthro deals with human evolution, genetics, primatology, etc. It also includes forensic anthro, which is the study of the human skeleton amongst other things, and these are the people that work with the police when a skeleton is discovered and needs to be identified. So if you ever find a skeleton and need to know its sex, race and age, you can call me.

But my advice is to first figure out what interests you then take those courses. Typically in your first year you will need to take a number of required courses that encompass many subjects, and this will help you identify what interests you. Also, if you know what kind of job you would like when you graduate, research courses you could take that would increase your chances of finding employment. This is very important. A lot of graduates think that a degree will guarantee employment then discover their degree, and the courses they have taken, have actually qualified them for nothing.

I loved university. Have fun and good luck.
