Anthropology is not only known for fieldwork and excavation, but you\u2019ll learn that it can also serve as a reference or concept for other fields like psychology and law. USC offers a wide range of classes, which opens the door to various professional paths.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Advice:\u00a0 <\/strong>I would advise that you get involved in clubs related to anthropology! Since it is a smaller major, joining clubs will help you meet upperclassmen, classmates, and even professors. Also, if there is a department meeting or community-related event, that is where you will really build connections with the faculty and TAs. If you are unsure about majoring, minoring is a great option due to the variety of subfields, such as medical and environmental anthropology. Even non-pre-med students can explore health and medicine through an anthropological lens. Also, consider taking advantage of opportunities like Maymester or the Joint Education Program (JEP), where you can gain hands-on experience while learning in-depth about anthropological methods and perspectives.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/anth\/anth-student-ambassadors\/\"><strong>Back to Anthropology Student Ambassadors Page<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1025,"featured_media":4216,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[38,37],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4214","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ambassador","category-student-profile"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 -
