My main concentration was in bioanthropology, though IU (Indiana University) doesn't have a tracking program, per se. I was/am interested in pre-human hominids. However, I'm a total anthro nerd- Bio, Archaeology, Linguistic, Cultural- I love it all!
I started out (my freshman year) with an interest in nothing but archaeology, specifically in the American Southwest. I actually did my field school at an Anasazi site in New Mexico. Anyway, I had one prof that TOTALLY ruined arch for me- he was an awful teacher, I've known a few others that he did the same for. On the other hand, I had the most amazing prof EVER in Bioanth... he was just fantastic. Kevin Hunt, if for some reason you're ever reading something relating to bio-anth (specifially primatology) or are every dealing with people at IU!
Bioanth became my obsessive passion for the next 4 years! I'm actually glad I didn't graduate on time b/c in my fifth year I came back to appreciating the other subfields (except linguistic, we didn't have much of a program in that) more, even the previously snubbed cultural ;-). Sorry, we had a bit of a rivalry going on between the subfields, and we were kind of clique-y about it for awhile. So stupid! I can't believe it, but I think I might actually go for cultural in grad school. I'm developing a serious interest in Middle East studies.
As for what I plan to do with it... hmmm, well... that's still in the works!
Phew, that's probably way more info than anyone wanted! Seriously, I need to CALM DOWN! I'm on a 2:30 am caffeine high and the gibberish just flows forth from me, unchecked! That includes unspellchecked. Ugh.
Anyway, what are you and your fiance's interests w/in your respective fields?

Darwinfemfish I read your reply then forgot to answer your question- the fiance does CRM- he is interested on paleoindian lithics- he worked on the "Big Eddy" site for three years if you've ever heard of that- I did cultural, no real focus- I have five (that's right, five) hours of classes left to get my degree- I have been working part time as a freelance writer for the last two years,I'll probably stick with that for a while. we should probably start a new thread to babble about our obscure field though- Hey- how many people when you tell them your major say "so you like digging up dinosaurs, huh? "
I just noticed Darwinfemfish's avatar and it is so funny. An IU fish eating a Purdue fish. What a stitch if you have ever been subjected to the rivalries in Indiana.
The best story about that is that there was a Russian deligation coming to IU (this was back in the USSR times) and the President of IU was writing a letter to the leaders in Russia and as a flair at the end he wrote Beat Purdue. The translators didn't know what to do with that so they transliterated it in Perdu, which of course in Russian means "I fart".
Well that's one of many IU stories.
