Today about 550 Anthropology Ph.D. degrees are awarded each year, and the large majority of doctoral students in anthropology take non-academic jobs. Jobs for addressing real-world problems require skills for collecting and analyzing all kinds of data and communicating the results of that analysis. Unlike students in the other social sciences, most anthropology students get no training in those skills. The NSF-funded "Cultural Anthropology Methods Program" (CAMP) addresses this by embracing a big tent approach, inviting anthropological methodologists to work together to teach the enormous range of methods used in our field. This article outlines CAMP's history, approach, and agenda
