Experiential Learning
Summer 2020 note: As courses have moved to online delivery due to COVID-19, hands-on components of our courses that would normally take place in our teaching labs have transitioned to online practical exercises.
UTM Anthropology courses with local or international experiential learning components can provide students with opportunities to:
- gain hands-on experience;
- acquire new skills;
- develop closer ties to communities;
- learn about the diversity of cultures that exist in our world;
- network with professionals in a specific industry;
- and more!
Not all courses are offered each year; consult the UTM Timetable for course offerings.
