Department faculty engage graduate and undergraduate students in creative, exciting, and hands-on research that results in opportunities for progressing on to graduate school and employment, as well as joint publications with department faculty. The department is engaged in research and education that matters to the borderlands region, including healthcare access and barriers, environmental justice and respiratory health, patterns of substance use and abuse, regional patterns of crime and justice, improved voting and public participation, community organizing in colonias, intensified border enforcement's impact on communities, and collaboration with human rights and immigration organizations. The department has two career-oriented certificates in Anthropology, one in Applied Cultural Anthropology (making use of the concept of culture in business, community, and government) and the other in Cultural Heritage Management (the applications of archaeology, including employment in contract archaeology).
