Field schools are another way you can gain knowledge and experience outside of the classroom. While still focused on a relevant issue and practical experience, field schools differ from internships in that field schools are focused more on helping you develop your anthropological skillset. Additionally, field schools tend to be for a shorter duration than internships. We encourage you to look closely at what the field school has to offer and see if it fits your interests and needed skill development, especially since field schools can be costly. Below is a list of field schools that offer a range of experiences.
