Anthropology students are strongly encouraged to take advantage of Dickinson's many study-abroad programs, through which they can practice their fieldwork skills for senior papers and presentation at conferences. The department encourages students to study abroad either for a semester, full year and/or in a summer course to fulfill electives and gain experience in other cultures.
We work to accomodate any of Dickinson's own programs and its partner programs, especially if students have a particular interest in doing fieldwork abroad.
The most popular programs in the major include England (Norwich; seen above), France, New Zealand, South America (Ecuador/Argentina), DIS Copenhagen, China (Beijing or Yunnan), SIT India and Cameroon. The department also offers summer programs such as our Ethnographic Field School in Tanzania.
