on Anthropologically Connected
The MA program in Applied Anthropology, initiated in 1974, was the first in the country to focus on career training for the practice of applied anthropology. Faculty at USF specialize in various areas including medical anthropology, urban policy and community development, educational anthropology, archaeology, Cultural Resource Management (CRM) economic development, immigration, and issues pertaining to race, gender, and ethnicity. For many, the MA is a terminal degree that qualifies them for professional careers in administration, program evaluation, planning, research, and cultural resource management. USF is the leading institution in the state for producing Florida archaeologists. Thirty percent of the local organization for professional, practicing archaeologists in the state is made up of graduates of the USF archaeology program., far more Graduates of the program have been extremely successful in obtaining employment with CRM firms (Cultural Resource Management), in federal and state government agencies, in museum positions, and in academia. Dual MA in Applied Anthropology and Public Health The Dual Masters degree program allows students to pursue a concurrent program of study leading to both the Master of Arts (MA) degree in Applied Anthropology and the Master of Public Health (MPH) degree in one of eight concentration areas within Public Health: Epidemiology, Global Health, Environmental Health, Tropical Public Health/Communicable Disease, Public Health Education, Maternal and Child Health, International Health Management or Health Care Organizations and Management. MA and PhD in Applied Anthroplogy and Public Health Students interested in combining a program of study leading to a doctorate plus master’s degree have two choices: they may obtain a PhD in Applied Anthropology with an MPH in a public health concentration, or they may obtain a PhD in Public Health with an MA in Applied Anthropology. For the doctoral/masters combination, students develop individual programs of study in consultation with an interdisciplinary academic advisory committee. The PhD program in Applied Anthropology, initiated in 1984, was the first doctoral program of its kind. The program is designed to prepare students to conduct research, teach, and practice applied anthropology in both academic and nonacademic settings. Faculty specialize in various area including medical anthropology, urban policy and community development, educational anthropology, ethnic policies and heritage, economic development, immigration and gender issues. The University offers a range of graduate certificates that open to students from various departments. They range from environomental policy and management to gerontology, to Cuban studies, to globalization studies. Of particular note is the certificate in museum studies which trains individuals interested in the various facets of museum operation including administration, management, curatorial work, exhibition design and installation education and history. Center for Applied Anthropology While the Center is primarily oriented toward service and research, its activities relate closely to the instructional program of the College of Arts and Sciences. The director and most research associates are anthropology faculty members who engage students in their projects. Among the Center's projects is the Human Services Information System, a data base management system applied to the problem of the need for information on the part of planners and evaluators especially in the fields of health and human services, and especially in the four-county Tampa Bay Area. The USF Globalization Research Center (USF/GRC) conducts research on the dynamics and effects of globalization, with geographic emphasis on Latin America and the Caribbean Region. The USF/GRC belongs to a network involving three other Research I institutions (University of Hawaii/Manoa, University of California/Los Angeles, and George Washington University). The USF/GRC recognizes the value of building and maintaining strong linkages to the Tampa Bay community. The benefits are many-fold: our researchers learn from observing "real world" activities related to globalization; by filling its mandate to educate the public on globalization issues, the Center believes everyone will benefit from a more informed citizenry; and, the Center can tap into financial and human resources available in the community. Collaborative for Children, Families & Communities The Collaborative brings together University faculty, nationally known researchers, community service professionals, neighborhood activists, and ordinary moms and dads to build a better future for children and families in the Tampa Bay area. We address issues as diverse as teenage fatherhood, welfare reform, young women's self-esteem, and helping children cope with their fears after the World Trade Center terrorist attacks. Alliance for Applied Research The Alliance is a multidisciplinary research team dedicated to conducting applied research on current evaluation and policy issues in the area of education from an anthropological perspective using qualitative as well as quantitative methods of analysis. AAREA provides research opportunities for graduate students interested in the area of educational evaluation and reform as well as educational anthropology. As the newest addition to the Department of Anthropology at the University of South Florida, AAREA shares the department's goals of promoting interdisciplinary research and education focusing on the close relationship between theoretical and applied research. Tampa Charter Regional Public Archaeology Center The mission of
the Network is “... to help stem
the rapid deterioration of [the] state’s buried past and to
expand public interest in archaeology.” The Regional Centers,
such as the Tampa Center which is hosted by USF's Anthropology Department,
are: (1) Public Outreach: The Regional Centers are to develop visible
public
outreach
programs,
including promotion of archaeological/heritage
tourism and promotion of existing regional heritage
events and programs. (2) Assistance to Local Governments: The
Regional Centers will support local governments in their efforts
to preserve and protect regional
archaeological resources. (3) Assist the Division of Historical
Resources in its Archaeological Responsibilities: The Regional Centers
will assist the DHR in its
archaeological responsibilities by promoting Division programs, including
grants and by supporting the Division with venues and professional
assistance for regional training opportunities.
