Anthropology
The study of anthropology is greatly enriched by the presence of a large and varied range of scholars at the five campuses who meet regularly, share their research, and lecture in each other's classes. A weekly newsletter, Megamemo , issued by the University's Department of Anthropology/Archaeology, keeps students and faculty alike informed about new courses, lectures and films at the campuses, as well as major events being sponsored here and elsewhere.

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 (CHS).

One of their newest collaborations 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.
