Students who choose to concentrate in this area for their minor in Anthropology are expected to take a broad, interdisciplinary approach to the American Southwest that integrates studies of land and society.

The Southwest Land, Culture, and Society Program is intended to serve as a formalized node, interconnecting faculty and students within the university, while strengthening their linkages to external communities.

The program provides a visible point of contact for constituencies outside the university seeking expertise and outreach in anthropologically-oriented Southwestern issues.

Faculty meet these needs partly by involving students in regional research and sponsoring involvement through internships.
