The Anthropology PhD program emphasizes environmental studies through comprehensive four-field training and diverse fieldwork options. Environmental anthropology examines how societies culturally shape and structure their surroundings, along with the underlying power dynamics in these processes. Its core mission involves praxis - integrating theory and practice to generate fresh insights, innovative perspectives, and meaningful societal involvement. Fundamentally, environmental anthropology serves as a practical social science, actively applying anthropological expertise to address tangible global challenges. UTSA's Anthropology doctoral program equips future professionals for both practical applications and academic pursuits in research and education. The graduate curriculum explores environmental anthropology from various angles: political economy, landscape ecology, cultural ecology and evolution, medical anthropology, plus primate conservation and behavioral ecology.
