New Course Description: Individual research, volunteer work, internship, employment or other practical experience designed to use and challenge the student¿s anthropological knowledge. Consultation with anthropology faculty in advance and during the field experience is required.Planning takes place in ANTH 410 Research Design and a formal paper that analyzes the experience and summarizes outcomes is produced in ANTH 412 Senior Thesis. Enroll By Arrangement; eligible for RP grading method. If not completed as agreed on By Arrangement form, RP will be replaced with NC.

Justification for changing the course (e.g. alignment with other institutions, program revision, etc.): The anthropological research project is designed by the student in consultation with a faculty mentor. Research may involve travel abroad, participation in a program not aligned with the WOU academic calendar, or open-ended engagement with a community or site. The student is already required to maintain contact with his or her mentor. Authorizing the RP designation will demonstrate respect for the student's initiative and maturity in undertaking independent research.

Students/Program affected: Anthropology majors.
