Senior Experience in Anthropology
The Department of Anthropology's Senior Experience is a two sequence course which marks the culmination of a four-year series of core courses designed to develop the student's abilities to reason and practice as an anthropologist. Students begin their study of anthropology with a three-course introductory sequence; move on in their sophomore year to a three-course theory and methods sequence; continue in their junior year with ANTH 501, which introduces them to the process of developing research questions; and in their senior year take ANTH 601, which provides students the opportunity to reflect upon and synthesize what they have learned in the anthropology program by designing a focused research project. These projects are presented to the anthropology faculty and student majors during a formal symposium at the end of the Winter term.
