GRADUATE PROGRAM


Master of Arts in Anthropology
Master of Applied Anthropology

The Department of Anthropology offers two distinct anthropology graduate degree programs. The program leading to the Master of Arts in Anthropology is a thesis-based program designed to prepare students for research and development and further study at the doctoral level.  The program leading to the Master of Applied Anthropology is an application-based degree and is considered to be a terminal degree (except for students intending to attend professional school). Boise State's graduate programs in anthropology emphasize ecological and biosocial perspectives in the study of humans.
