Anthropology 114
Anthropology 114, the History of Anthropological Thought, is a required theory course for all anthropology majors. This course is only offered in the Spring, so we will be creating a study group closer to the Spring. As we compile other resources for this class, we will include them here.

Undergraduate Research Apprenticeship Program (URAP)
URAP is a research program that allows undergraduates to work with graduate students and professors on their research! Projects are hands-on, and students can take on URAP projects any semester.
UPDATE FOR Fall 2020: URAP plans to have an application cycle this fall (with the expectation that the majority of projects will be remote). They will post open fall projects at the end of July; please check the Announcements section on the main URAP website at urap.berkeley.edu. The Fall 2020 application will be open August 19th–August 31st.
