So you want to dig up ancient bones and artifacts in Africa this summer?

Well, the National Museums of Kenya, in collaboration with Rutgers U's Program of Human Evolutionary Studies in the Department of Anthropology and the Rutgers Study Abroad program, offer a unique opportunity at a summer field school in Koobi Fora, Kenya, where you'll do just that and a whole lot more.

Join us in Northern Kenya for the premier Paleoanthropology Field School in the world! We have new field projects studying fossilized footprints, climate change, Holocene land use, hominid diet and more. We are planning a most incredible summer field season with an exciting group of senior researchers that include hominin experts, primatologists, vertebrate paleontologists, geologists, and archaeologists.

Become a part of our ongoing research and training program! This will change your life in wondrous ways.
