Senior Learning Community
The Senior Learning Community in Anthropology is designed to provide senior majors with an integrated experience, linking application with theoretical understanding. Each senior works with her or his advisor to create a project relevant to the student’s intellectual interests and future career path when at all possible. These interests are then elaborated and synthesized in the Senior Learning Community, composed of three parts:
AN 400E Experiential Component of Senior Reflective Tutorial. Zero units
AN 400 Senior Reflective Tutorial. One unit
AN 491 Seminar in Anthropological Theory. One unit
