Supervised by the Anthropology Museum Director, for-credit semester internships (1-3 credits) are available to undergraduate students interested in anthropology, curation, and museum studies. Enrolled students commit to an on-site schedule equating to 3 hours/week per credit enrolled (ranging from 3-9 hours/week, M-F, between 8am and 4pm) and completion of an end-of-semester report. During the internship, independent projects are completed that expose each student to unique skills specific to an anthropology subdiscipline of the student’s choosing (archaeological, biological, cultural, or a combination of these). Projects are identified for each student prior to the start of the semester and expectations are finalized based on a combination of collection task needs and specific student interest.
Internship spots are limited by availability (almost exclusive preference is given to students who have completed ANTHRO 405) and instructor consent. Internships are only available in the spring/summer semesters. Interested students should email the Anthropology Museum Director during the fall semester to inquire about position availability and fit.
