Ph.D. Program
Integrative Anthropological Sciences Ph.D.
The UCF Ph.D. in Integrated Anthropological Sciences prepares graduates with scientific and technology skills, and the use of these STEM skills to address important societal questions. Graduates will benefit from anthropology’s conceptual strengths in understanding and accommodating diversity.
The program is specifically designed to prepare graduates for employment in the private and government sectors. Students should expect to enroll in high-level methodological courses in statistics, GIScience and qualitative analysis.
The central purpose of the program is to produce graduates with the necessary methodological expertise and analytical skills to create innovative solutions to the ongoing challenges of local and global disparities. For example:
- How does society adapt to disparities such as food deserts, immigration, and differential access to healthcare, environmental and anthropogenic crises?
- How cultures adapt to natural disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis, and to anthropogenic crises such as technological failures, and the resilience and vulnerability of human populations (e.g.,infectious disease)?
