The Five College Medical Anthropology Program is a collaborative program among the colleges listed below. Currently, undergraduate degree concentrations are offered at each of the colleges, while graduate degrees are offered through the University of Massachusetts. Medical anthropologists from the other four colleges within the consortium serve on the Graduate Faculty of the University.

Biomedical, ethnomedical, and critical perspectives are represented.
