Interdisciplinary minors which incorporate one or more Anthropology courses include African Studies, African American Studies, Environmental Studies, Latin American and Caribbean Studies, and Womens Studies. Though a minor is not required for graduation at the College of Charleston, a student may choose to minor in one or more areas of study. ANTH 101 Introduction to Anthropology 2. ANTH 205 Language and Culture ANTH 210 History of Anthropological Theory 3. As interns, students have extended opportunities to link theories and ideas to concrete situations, and to apply the perspective of their discipline in a work place setting as we hope they will after graduation.
Internships are a real life laboratory within a supportive environment.
Depending on the placement, students may be involved in a variety of hands-on activities while they test their ability to act as a participant observer. Internships allow students to use their classroom knowledge in the analysis and interpretation of what they observe. In addition, internships can help students become more marketable by providing experience and contacts. Anthropology students have interned at the Charleston Museum, LABS Primate Center, the American Red Cross, the Mayor's Office, the Underwater Archaeology office of the South Carolina Institute of Archaeology, and the Medical Examiner's Office in recent years. Students should complete at least 12 hours of Anthropology before attempting an internship.
