Anthropology Program
The study of anthropology is greatly enriched by the presence of a large and varied range of scholars at the five campuses who meet regularly, share their research, and lecture in each other's classes.
As part of a wider collaborative effort to expand the opportunities for undergraduate study and field work in medical anthropology and related areas, the anthropologists helped to develop a Five College Certificate Program in Culture, Health, and Science (CHS).
One of their joint projects is an annual day-long Five College Anthropology Conference in which undergraduates present their research to the faculty and to their peers at all the campuses.

Thank you to all who participated in the 2024 Conference!
The 2025 Conference will be held on Saturday, April 26 at UMass Amherst in the Campus Center.
More details about the 2025 Conference will be available soon.
