Research Concentrations

In addition to receiving a broad yet thorough, grounding in the major subfields of anthropology, students also have the advantage of specialized instruction in one or more research orientations in which department faculty have substantial expertise.

Medical Anthropology

Medical Anthropology

Medical anthropology is a subdiscipline of anthropology that includes the study of all aspects of health, illness and disease in human communities and populations. It draws on all of the perspectives that distinguish anthropology as a unique discipline: the analysis of human evolution and adaptation; cultural development, expressions, and variability; and historical change and continuity.

Biological Anthropology

Biological Anthropology

The biological anthropology concentration within the graduate program is concerned with modern human biological diversity and the evolutionary history that has led to that diversity.

Archaelogical Anthropology

Archaelogical Anthropology

The archaeology studies program concentrates on the study of past human societies using archaeological data collected in field and museum settings.

Sustainable Development and Political Ecology

Sustainable Development and Political Ecology

This concentration provides a critical perspective to issues of development and resource conservation, multicultural and multidisciplinary perspectives. A particular strength of this program is the integration of theoretical knowledge with field-based training opportunities.
