Established in the 1960s, our graduate program has gained national acclaim as a pioneer in applied anthropology. We view applied anthropology as research with real-world relevance and influence, yet firmly rooted in comprehensive anthropological theory and methodology across socio-cultural, bio-cultural, medical, and archaeological disciplines. Building on fundamental anthropological principles, we prepare students to become adept researchers capable of navigating both academic and professional environments, equipped with a solid theoretical foundation and practical implementation skills.
