Greater Boston Anthropology Consortium (GBAC)
The anthropology faculties of Brandeis University, Clark University, Olin College, Tufts University, Wellesley College and Wheaton College constitute the Greater Boston Anthropology Consortium (GBAC), a cooperative arrangement among these institutions. GBAC sponsors joint speakers, combined student activities, and encourages cross-enrollment (when possible) at the undergraduate and graduate levels. In addition, graduate students may enroll in graduate courses in several other Boston-area institutions, including Boston College, Boston University, and the Graduate Consortium in Women’s Studies at Radcliffe College.
