What major is this? is it Anthropology or Geography?

Question

What major studies the characteristics of every culture?

Like the average height per country, religion per country, ethnic groups per country, stereotypes, culture openess, traditions...etc

and do you know a good university which offers this course?

I find it very interesting.

Answer 1

Sociology

Answer 2

This is an anthropology course, but look for a course title in "Social Geography" or "Human Geography".

Answer 3

it is anthropology I used to take anthropology classes when I was in high school. I'm not sure about the university though.

Answer 4

At the local college there is a course called Human Geography, sounds as if it fits this exactly. You could also take a Cultural Anthropology class.

Answer 5

Depends on what theoretical perspective is used by the university. Most likely what you are looking for will not be in any Anthropology class you will ever take since this theoretical perspective fell out of fashion by the end of World War II.

Social/Human Geography deals with how people interact with their geographic location.

What you are looking for more closely resembles sociology.

Answer 6

I would research GIS, if I were you. It is mostly geographic, but also anthropological, sociological, biological, etc.

Good university? University at Buffalo http://www.ncgia.buffalo.edu/

Answer 7

It is Anthropology.  It would be harder to find a good university that does not offer the major than one that does.
