Anthropology students at Augustana have conducted original ethnographic research in diverse settings such as Bermuda, Ireland, Israel, west Africa, with Native American communities, and with refugees in the Quad Cities, just to mention a few examples.

Students of anthropology often participate in the student-run Sociology & Anthropology club and the college?s chapter of Alpha Kappa Delta, an international honor society.

Every year, students showcase their original ethnographic research at the Central States Anthropological Society conference, one of the oldest national organizations in the discipline.

Anthropology students are encouraged to combine their ethnographic field study with one of Augustana?s many options in international programs. Along with fall terms in Latin America, Europe or East Asia, the college offers many intensive, long- and short-term opportunities in places ranging from Asia to Ireland ? including a wide variety of cultures and environments on our own continent.
