Students interested in the sub-fields of Biological Anthropology and Archaeological Anthropology sometimes have the opportunity to participate in hands-on field schools, summer field programs, or intercession field programs run by institutions other than NYU. Depending on a review of the specifics of the program and the offering institution, the Department may choose -- or may not choose -- to allow students to receive credit towards the major for participation in these programs. Students interested in participating in such programs should consult well in advance with the DUGS and provide the DUGS with a detailed description of the program's curricular content, which will be reviewed by appropriate faculty members within the Department.
