Students majoring in anthropology are encouraged to consider an academic program abroad during their junior year. In the past, majors have spent a term or year in India, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, Scotland, Peru, Mexico, Sri Lanka, Singapore, and the Philippines. Students planning to spend the junior year abroad should take at least one but preferably two courses in anthropology during the sophomore year.

Majors concentrating in archaeology or physical anthropology may take advantage of the excellent resources in these two areas at the University of Massachusetts or enroll in a fieldwork program at a training university during their junior year. The concentration may be undertaken either within the anthropology major or as a minor in anthropological archaeology (see below).

Students majoring in sociology and anthropology need two advisers, one in the sociology program and one in the anthropology program.
