Our innovative curriculum allows students to complete both degrees in 3 years (see the dual degree course of study at <a href="https://anthropology.uncc.edu/graduate/dual-degree-program-information" target="_blank">https://anthropology.uncc.edu/graduate/dual-degree-program-information</a>). This program emphasizes the cultural and social dimensions of health and disease in an effort to effectively improve health outcomes. Students will be equipped to tackle health-related social justice issues including health disparities in local communities and abroad. We welcome applicants from other fields who have done some coursework in Anthropology.</font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><font color="#000000"> </font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><font color="#000000">Areas of faculty expertise include:</font></p><p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;text-align:center;line-height:15pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"></p><ul><li style="text-align:left"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">Applied anthropology</span></li><li style="text-align:left"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">Archaeology of Complex Societies</span></li><li style="text-align:left"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">Archaeology of Power</span></li><li style="text-align:left"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">Bioarchaeology</span></li><li style="text-align:left"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">Childhood cultures and education</span></li><li style="text-align:left"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">Disasters and climate change</span></li><li style="text-align:left"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">Domestic violence and incarceration</span></li><li style="text-align:left"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">Environment and development</span></li><li style="text-align:left"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">Ethnohistory and Geoarchaeology</span></li><li style="text-align:left"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">Evolution and heredity</span></li><li style="text-align:left"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">Food and nutrition disparities</span></li><li style="text-align:left"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">Health and Human Rights</span></li><li style="text-align:left"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">Language and identity</span></li><li style="text-align:left">Migration, race, and multilingualism</li><li style="text-align:left"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">Medical anthropology</span></li><li style="text-align:left"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">Near Eastern Archaeology</span></li><li style="text-align:left"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">Primate behavioral ecology and conservation</span></li><li style="text-align:left"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">Religion and ritual</span></li><li style="text-align:left"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">Social Determinants of Health</span></li></ul><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;color:rgb(80,0,80);font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="color:black">For the dual degree, potential graduate students must <b>apply to both programs </b>independently and indicate in each application they are applying for the dual degree program. </span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">We usually have several teaching or research assistantships available; t</span><span style="color:black">o be considered for funding apply by January 15, 2022.
