TANZANIA: Human Evolution & Ecology (ACM) (fall)

Offered by the Associated Colleges of the Midwest (ACM), Tanzania: Human Evolution and Ecology is an interdisciplinary program in the natural and social sciences offering undergraduates the rare opportunity to conduct field work in some of the world's greatest paleoanthropological and ecological sites. Students divide their time between the University of Dar es Salaam and the Northern Region of Tanzania. Courses include Swahili, human evolution, ecology of the Serengeti Plain, and research topics. Six weeks are spent in tent camps while pursuing individual field research in the Serengeti/Ngorongoro area. During the first two months, students live in dormitories at the University of Dar es Salaam; housing in the field is in tents at an established campsite, and during the final four weeks in homestays or guesthouses near the university. Eligibility: preference given to students with backgrounds in anthropology and the natural sciences. Familiarity with archaeological and/or ethnographic field methodology strongly recommended.
