Anthropology

Hands-on research opportunities

Anthropology students benefit from frequent field schools, including archaeological digs at Grand Pré, Nova Scotia (a National Historic Site of Canada) where they explore an 18th-century Acadian community. In St. Felice, Italy, our students work closely with archaeologists in the investigation of a Roman villa from the 1st century AD. Students interested in forensic anthropology can gain valuable experience at the Medical Examiner’s Department in Miami-Dade, Florida, where they can participate in real crime scene investigations and autopsies.

Anthropology students have engaged in international exchanges with Japan and served as research interns in Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam—all for academic credit.
