Anthropology

Internships
Internships can take place in metropolitan areas or in remote international settings more traditional for anthropological work. Metropolitan internships can range from working with non-profit organizations that use ethnography to understand community needs, to working with marketing firms that use ethnographic methods to study the patterns of consumer behavior. Additional opportunities may include working with school districts, corporations, and other organizations that use ethnographic research to understand the intimate forms of interaction among members of various social groups. Internships in these settings allow students to participate in the development of anthropological research to understand corporate structure and leadership patterns, consumer behavior, and the role of community service programs in larger urban areas.

International internship opportunities can include governmental organizations as well as non-governmental organizations (NGOs) using ethnographic research in order to investigate how people think about issues and the problems with which they are faced. Some of the kinds of internship work students may undertake throughout the world can include environmental efforts, healthcare initiatives, economic development programs and social change projects.

All internships will be offered in the fall/winter cycle. Students complete their internships in the junior year, allowing them to produce final products (e.g. portfolios, research papers, anthropological videos or other appropriate products) out of their field research in their senior year.

Post-Graduate Opportunities
Many corporations, schools and health-care institutions are using ethnographic field techniques and qualitative methods in order to understand their markets and clientele, or for that matter, their own organizational structure. The Anthropology major prepares students for employment in these areas, as well as for further graduate work in anthropology, public policy, law and other social and behavioral sciences.
