Application and Registration

The application form is available here (opens as a fillable PDF). Enrollment is limited, and applications received by March 4, 2022, will receive priority. Application review will begin immediately after that date, and applications will be accepted until the course is filled. The field school is limited to 14 students, graduate and undergraduate.

Funding: Undergraduate students will be supported via a $3,300 stipend from the National Science Foundation’s Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program. Note that there is no separate application process for the REU funding; all 12 eligible students who attend will receive the stipend. Graduate students and foreign students may also attend the field school, but are not eligible for the REU program.

Tuition and Fees: Once accepted, students may register for a three-credit lab course and a four-credit field course through the University of Arizona. The courses are Anth 455a and 455b, section 2 (undergraduate credit) or Anth 555a and 555b, section 2 (graduate credit). Please check with your advisor about transferring University of Arizona credits to your home university.
