Does Amherst college offer serious research? I’m a potential anthropology major and I was curious about what sort of research might be available.
While Amherst would certainly be strong for research generally (https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/rankings/undergrad-research-programs), note that with respect to anthropology specifically, it combines anthropology with sociology in a single department. For greater breadth and depth with respect to anthropology course offerings and associated research, you may want to consider LACs with distinct anthropology departments. If you have archaeological interests, you may want to consider LACs with available geoarchaeology majors.
