Summer Field Schools and STudy Abroad Programs
in Anthropology
A summer program, or a semester or a year abroad, is a great way for you to discover the methods and techniques anthropology and archaeology use to collect and interpret data. You can use this information as part of a longer-term research project such as senior research or honors. Field school experience, especially in an archaeological field school, opens up great employment opportunities for you as well.
Academic credit earned in these programs may be transferred to the University of Mary Washington. NOTE that you need to obtain permission to transfer the credits before you take the class.
If you are interested in one of these programs, contact
them directly, and also talk to your academic advisor about which program
would be best for you and about permission to transfer the credits
for your work. If you plan a semester or year abroad be sure to talk to the people in International Academic Services as well (http://www.umw.edu/international/default.php).
