Anthropology Study Abroad Programs

Study abroad side effects include self-growth, a broader global perspective, and a better understanding of the world. These are all inherent for anthropology majors, who are students of the world in every class they take; however, studying anthropology abroad takes these characteristics to the next level. Experiencing the how and why people do the things they do firsthand is crucial for budding professional anthropologists. Studying behavior patterns, uncovering how slang impacts daily life, or following in the footprints of Charles Darwin are all delights anthropology students can relish in by studying abroad.

Study Abroad Experience Review

April 01, 2025by: Shea Finau - United StatesProgram: USAC Costa Rica: Heredia - Latin American Studies & Ecology
10

My study abroad trip in Heredia, Costa Rica will forever be one of the best decisions I made during college. I decided to go on this trip because some of my sorority sisters went on it the previous year and couldn’t stop raving about it. On the trip, I got to immerse myself in Costa Rican culture. I met ticos (Costa Rican natives), developed better Spanish-speaking skills, and got to try all kinds of different foods. At the same time, I was also earning 7 credits towards my college transcript. The teachers were extremely patient and helpful when correcting my Spanish, and the campus is beautiful. I had to learn how to ride the bus everyday to campus, which was a meaningful experience in itself. My USAC advisors planned trips and activities for my group and I, including playing indoor soccer, roller-skating, going to the city, and exploring tropical rainforests. Overall, studying in Heredia, Costa Rica made me develop life skills and try new things that I wouldn’t have the chance to try anywhere else, making it a truly transformative experience. I recommend the Heredia, Costa Rica study abroad trip to anyone who wants to deepen their cultural understanding and have unforgettable experiences.

A Guide to Studying Anthropology Abroad

Why Study Anthropology Abroad

Studying anthropology abroad can help you gain a much better understanding of not only the place and people you study, but cultures all around the globe. Since anthropology involves knowledge of cultures, it is an essential component of mastering the material. Stepping outside of a book and experiencing customs, behaviors, and social patterns directly is absolutely essential for an anthropologist to talk the talk and walk the walk. By participating in class work, fieldwork, and making observations of a new culture, you’ll not only become much more knowledgeable, but also passionate about your field.
