Office of Undergraduate Research
Anthro 297 is coordinated through the UROP (Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program) part of Office of Undergraduate Research. The exact offerings vary year-to-year. Currently these include working with archaeological curation, archaeological remains, and the Milwaukee County Institution Grounds cemetery project. UROP has an online application process that can place you with a faculty member in the Anthropology Department. You will be assisting with a research project in the faculty member’s area of expertise for several hours a week and spend some seminar time with other UROP students. If you are a freshman or sophomore, or seeking a more guided group experience, this is a great option.
