Anthropology (B.A.) 4-Year Plan with Semester Study Abroad


This plan is an example only.  It places the study abroad experience in the Spring semester of the Junior year. Course rotations and course offerings are subject to change based on faculty availability and enrollment minimums. 

The Anthropology Program feels that a semester spent studying abroad can be an extraordinary addition to your education at PFW for several reasons, including cultural exposure, new academic opportunities, personal growth, resume enhancement, and memorable life experiences.

Fluency in a foreign language is not required for most programs and the cost of many programs is comparable to the cost of attending PFW.  We recommend speaking with the Director of the Study Abroad Office and the Department Chair at least one year prior to the semester in which you wish to study abroad in order to identify program availability and choose courses that will apply toward major requirements.
