Career Options

Possible career options include becoming a professional anthropologist by completing graduate work in anthropology; working with government agencies such as the National Park Service, Bureau of Indian Affairs, National Immigration Service, State Historic Preservation Agency, a regional planning agency, a social service agency, or as a contract archaeologist.
