| Organizational Unit Overview | ECU enrolls around 28,000 students, with over 5,500 pursuing graduate or professional degrees and is a Doctoral/Research-Intensive University with a large health sciences component, including the the School of Dental Medicine (https://dental.ecu.edu/ ) and the Brody School of Medicine (https://medicine.ecu.edu/) , home of the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine (https://pathology.ecu.edu/ ) which includes three board certified forensic pathologists working in the Eastern Regional Medical Examiner’s Office (part of the North Carolina Medical Examiner system). ECU is a member of the 17-campus University of North Carolina System located in Greenville, NC (pop. 95,000), a vibrant, growing, and diverse community that offers a college-town atmosphere, a temperate climate, and outstanding cultural and outdoor recreational opportunities along with an affordable cost of living (https://www.greenvillenc.gov/ ). The Thomas Harriot College of Arts and Sciences (https://thcas.ecu.edu/ ) is home to 16 academic departments, a number of research centers, and over twenty interdisciplinary programs (https://thcas.ecu.edu/undergraduate-programs/ ) including African and African-American Studies (https://aaas.ecu.edu/ ) and Environmental Studies (https://environmentalstudies.ecu.edu/ ). The College is committed to enriching the lives of students, faculty, and staff by providing a diverse academic community where the exchange of ideas, knowledge and perspectives is an active part of living and learning. The College seeks to create an environment that fosters the recruitment and retention of a diverse student body, faculty, staff, and administration and works to increase diversity and access to higher education for underrepresented groups by building an environment that welcomes, celebrates, and promotes respect for diversity. The Department of Anthropology (https://anthropology.ecu.edu/ ) offers both a BA and MA in Anthropology, a minor in Medical Anthropology, and several certificates at the undergraduate level including Global Cross-Cultural Competency, Forensic Anthropology, and Cultural Resources Management. The department also contributes coursework to the Forensic Science minor offered by the Department of Criminal Justice (https://criminal-justice.ecu.edu ). The department offers a holistic approach to culture, adaptation, and health to promote a better understanding of human diversity, both past and present. The department’s faculty cover a wide spectrum of specialization, broadly representative of Anthropology’s four-field approach to the study of the human condition. These include behavioral ecology, bioarchaeology, medical anthropology, social-ecological systems, historic and prehistoric archaeology, ethnoarchaeology, primate behavior, and human evolution. Shared across all faculty is an applied research focus and engagement in locally relevant research: from Black heritage studies to environmental justice to economic and health inequalities. |
