All of these faculty members are actively doing anthropology. And each of them is dedicated to assuring that you have opportunities to do anthropology alongside them. We offer a field school in archaeology, and many opportunities to apply the skills of physical anthropology to real skeletal materials. Much of this research is done in service to the governmental agencies and communities surrounding Radford University. In keeping with our desire to provide the student with hands-on experience, internships are available.
Placement is available in a variety of agencies, organizations, and institutions.
Departmental Internship Manuals are available for perusal in the chair's office. The Human Relations Area Files, an intricately indexed compendium of ethnographic materials used for cross-cultural research, is available in the Library. Computer software available in student laboratories includes both database and text-based programs for analyzing ethnographic and archaeological data. The archaeology and physical anthropology laboratory offers a wealth of artifacts and skeletal materials for analysis. You'll have the opportunity to take a wide variety of courses outside your major.
