Abstract

This is a critical view of the situation of the teaching of undergraduate social Anthropology in Cameroon. In this short paper we give a brief statement of what Anthropology is about, the broad traditions in the discipline, the relevance of Social Anthropology as a social science discipline, how the discipline at the undergraduate level is taught in some of the universities of Cameroon, and probable options if the present situation of its teaching may be improved upon.   

Key words: Options, teaching, undergraduate, Social Anthropology, Cameroon.
