Anthropology Department

Master of Arts in Anthropology

The MA requires an emphasis in one of three areas: Archaeology, Cultural Anthropology, or Museum Studies.

The Archaeology program provides training that integrates the academic and applied aspects of archaeology. It prepares students for PhD programs in anthropology and careers in cultural resource management.

The program in Museum Studies emphasizes both academic and professional training using archaeological and ethnographic materials. It prepares students to meet the growing need of modern museums.

The Cultural Anthropology program emphasizes action anthropology, gender studies, and ethnohistory. It creates a unique forum for applying anthropological analyses and methodologies to pressing global issues of human rights and underdevelopment.
