Research Opportunities
In recent years advanced students have earned credit for research assistance on a variety of faculty-directed projects. These include the analysis of human skeletal remains from a 19th-century cemetery in Chicago; laboratory analyses of archaeological artifacts from Mesoamerica; the study of captive primate behavior at the Lincoln Park Zoological gardens; and a study of aging at a local retirement center, to name a few.
Students are encouraged to gain summer fieldwork experiences in archaeology, biological anthropology and cultural anthropology. The ºÚÁÏÃÅUndergraduate Research Opportunities Program (LUROP) offers competitive fellowships and grants to help support faculty-mentored student research. Cooperative programs between ºÚÁÏÃÅand other universities around the world provide additional opportunities.
Senior anthropology majors are also encouraged to consider undertaking a "capstone" experience, which may involve a faculty-mentored research project, an internship, or other independent study.
