The Graduate Program in Biomedical Anthropology is the first of its kind in the world in an emerging new field. It is dedicated to training versatile professionals through multi-disciplinary field and laboratory approaches to the study of disease through the interaction of biological, behavioral, and cultural factors that shape health outcomes. Financial contributions are an integral part of the program's ability to provide unique opportunities that directly benefit the students, faculty, and community. Through private contributions and donations, we can support student research and provide student training in an applied, integrated Master's level program that satisfies growing employment opportunities locally, statewide, nationally, and internationally. The Biomedical Anthropology Program needs your support now more than ever to train students using an inter-disciplinary approach to meet the needs of a modern and developing world in our global society.
