Students may receive this credit for an independent or collaborative research project or in conjunction with field school participation.

A contract between mentor and student is required at the beginning of the experience, and a reflection paper is required at the end of the experience. Students are strongly recommended to have completed at least one anthropology methods course prior to enrolling in Field Experience.
