Through coursework and research you will study four subdisciplines of anthropology:

Archaeology: Explore ancient cultures and learn techniques to analyze their material remains such as tools, paintings and religious artifacts to interpret their values and way of life.

Biological Anthropology: Examine the evolution of the brain and nervous system to understand human nature, health, mortality and reproductive behavior.

Linguistics: Investigate the nature of relationships shared between language and culture.

Cultural Anthropology: Focus on contemporary issues such as economics, politics, religion and art through interviews and observation to create in-depth ethnographies.

With a master’s degree in anthropology you will be prepared to take the next step in your career in public and private settings or continue your studies for a PhD or professional school. Possible career pathways include:

Archeologist
Community development
Market research
Museum curator
Social work

Evaluate and conduct new anthropological research.

Understand anthropology as an interdisciplinary field including archaeology, biology, cultural anthropology and linguistics and the integration into a holistic discipline.
