Program Learning Outcomes for MA in Anthropology Students graduating from this program will: Develop the skills to successfully pursue various professional endeavors, within and outside the academy. Understand the historical development and the basic anthropological debates, concepts, and goals of their chosen subfields; apply this knowledge in order to understand and define aspects of human nature, culture, and social practice. Develop the methodological, theoretical, and critical analytical skills at the heart of their chosen subfields in order to become capable producers of anthropological knowledge and to actively critique and reconfigure canonical anthropological knowledge. Apply research and analytical skills to individual research questions and case studies to become active producers of research and knowledge, and to effectively critique and intervene in extant research and disciplinary discussions. Students specializing in social-cultural anthropology will develop tools for responsibly conducting research with their interlocutors and consultants in a world of the increasingly complex interplay of small-scale and large-scale concerns and commitments. Students specializing in anthropological archaeology will develop tools for responsibly conducting research at sites increasingly touched by the complex interplay of small-scale and large-scale concerns and commitments. Degree Requirements for MA in Anthropology Because each field of specialization offers different opportunities for training and different research orientations, the department seeks applicants with a defined interest in either cultural anthropology or archaeology; an undergraduate background in anthropology is strongly desirable. Entering students devise a detailed first-year plan of study and provisional plans for succeeding years in consultation with an advisor. The plan should emphasize broad training in the selected field before the eventual definition of a project for dissertation research. For general university requirements, see Graduate Degrees.
