  Master of Arts in Anthropology
Master of Applied Anthropology

The curriculum requires a core sequence in anthropology with a significant emphasis on methodology and theory, a sequence of electives, a preliminary examination, and a project (Master of Applied Anthropology) or a thesis (Master of Arts in Anthropology).  The thesis will be expected to be of sufficient quality to warrant publication in a peer-reviewed journal.
