Five College Collaboration
The study of anthropology is greatly enriched by the presence of a large and varied range of scholars across Five College consortium 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.

A major collaboration is a day-long Five College symposium each year in which undergraduates present their research to the faculty and to their peers at all the campuses.

Field Studies
Through the University of Massachusetts Amherst department of anthropology, Five College students are able to participate in local archaeological digs each summer or enroll in the field program in European studies. The field studies training program works on the principle of small group collaborative learning. Participants move through a three-semester course sequence as a group, sharing their ideas and experiences with each other. In this way, participants learn from each other and the faculty instructor who guides them through the process from beginning to end.

Participants are free to choose the research site and topic that most suits their interests. Students develop these ideas into full-fledged research projects--taking the project through the various stages of design, data collection, analysis, and report/publication. The idea is to experience the challenge of individual field research with the advantage of close guidance and support.

Five College Certificate Programs
Dependent upon individual academic focus, concentrators at Hampshire in anthropology or archaeology may also qualify for the Five College Certificate Programs in Culture, Health, and Science, Native American Studies, African Studies, or Latin American Studies.
