Peru - Descent from the archaeological site of Pisac.
The Department of Anthropology regularly provides students an opportunity for study abroad as a 9-credit field school. The courses (all upper-level) offered depend on the location and the faculty member coordinating and overseeing the curriculum, who brings their particular expertise to the program (such as, language skills and research interest). Field schools typically are scheduled during May-June and last from four to six weeks. Some course work occurs prior to departure.
If funding your education abroad is a concern, consider some funding options identified by International Education. Depending on eligibility, you may be able to apply for a loan from StudentAid BC.
International field schools are administered by VIU's Education Abroad Office.
