<p>I'm interested in studying (cultural) anthropology as hopefully a major but at least a minor.
Anyone know any schools with good anthropology programs -- preferably somewhere east?</p>
<p>And if anyone here is an anthropology major now, do you like it and do you get to do a lot of field work?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>The University of Tennessee has a very good Anthro program. However, it is more in line with forensics than cultural. Field work right now is on the down slope b/c of the economy I think. But, there are lots of opportunities for field schools. (You dont have to be in a colleges field school to go to it and there is a few schools run in Tn by MTSU, UTC, ETSU as well as UT that you can attend.) There is field work in Dr. Bass body farm if youre a hardcore forensic guy or gal. </p>
<p>What cultures? There are several opportunities to explore North American and South American Natives. Also, the opportunity is here to study the people of the Mediterranean with the Classics department. </p>
<p>Yes I like it very much. Many of the Antro classes are in Neyland Stadium. They have a bone lab and a nice comparative collection that one can work in voluntarily.</p>
