Study Abroad and Field Schools

Study Abroad

Students are encouraged to participate in overseas studies in both academic classes and ethnographic field schools. The Department of Anthropology will accept credit from a range of study abroad programs that include anthropology courses. You will need to get prior approval through the International Studies office and the anthropology undergraduate coordinator for coursework not offered by the University of Florida.

Several UF study abroad programs (opens in new tab) do not allow for anthropology credit but provide an excellent cultural experience and a boost to your CV for internships and graduate school.

Please see the University of Florida International Center (opens in new tab) for information on other programs and deadlines. You are encouraged to apply early for scholarship funds that help with costs.

Previous field school information can be found here.

UF Archaeological Field Schools

Undergraduate students concentrating in archaeology are strongly encouraged to take an archaeological field school. The University of Florida offers a variety of options on a rotating basis, mostly during summers but occasionally during Spring terms. The Department of Anthropology also accepts credit for field schools taken elsewhere by its majors.
