M U Sociology and Anthropology - Research Opportunities

Research Opportunities Our students actively participate in research whether they are completing the Social Research Methods or Anthropology's Field Methods Class, or study the Atlantic World in our outstanding field school in archaeology, conducting independent research for Senior Seminar , writing an honors thesis, or working with a faculty mentor. The opportunities are endless. Many of our students also choose to present their work at Millersville's undergraduate research conference or our professional associations' annual meetings.
