Study Abroad
The Department encourages a Study Abroad experience for anthropology majors, after the student has had some formal anthropological training. Several SUNY campuses operate such programs, and the student may register through any of them. The student should plan to earn some Departmental major credit during the experience, and with descriptions of course offerings from the host institution the student should consult with his/her Advisor about a curriculum. Questions about acceptability of any courses for Department credit should be brought to the DUS before the student departs; and the student should bring back the syllabi for courses taken which he/she hopes to petition for Departmental credit. It is sometimes possible to conduct a project of investigation for the Practicum or Honors during the Study Abroad experience; the student should plan carefully with his/her Advisor and the DUS in advance. N.b. because of differences in methods of evaluation, Study Abroad courses are commonly graded S/U on the student's record; but major credit is earned.
