Anthropology majors benefit by acquiring as much practical experience in their majors as possible. The department encourages students to do internships, carry out practica, and to engage in the new Community Service Learning options. Such experiences help students to see what being an anthropologist is like and helps prepare them for employment or graduate study. Opportunities for this practical training are usually negotiated with the help of the Undergraduate Program Director, the Chief Undergraduate Adviser, or the department’s Experiential Education Coordinator.
