Most paid research positions on campus or at nearby research institutions are advertised through the Career Services Center. There are also a number of structured research programs such as anthropological digs in Jordan, the Faculty Mentor Program, the Summer Research Program, and the Howard Hughes and McNair Programs. For these programs and job opportunities see web links on the Career Services Center site. Many departments offer independent individual and group research activities for which students may earn credit toward their major. Graduation with honors in a department usually requires completion of an independent research project.
Internships provide another avenue for exploring career goals.
D.C. Program are among the largest campus internship opportunities for which academic credit is granted. The Programs Abroad office has information on international internships. Volunteer internship programs are also available as are some paid internships in the summer and after graduation.
