A staff of field supervisors works with the excavators to help them perfect techniques. Students may request a change of adviser simply by conveying their preferences to the department assistant. We encourage students to select advisers with whom they share an interest in some subfield of anthropology. In consultation with the student, the adviser will assess the student s background and provide guidance in selecting an appropriate and balanced program of studies. We suggest that a student consult with the adviser for each coming quarter to allow the student to evaluate progress toward the anthropology major.
Faculty members can also provide counseling on post-graduate job opportunities or studies.
Preregistration for courses is available for all majors and minors. Please check with the program assistant for specific procedures.
