MA Anthropology
The University of Cincinnati offers a comprehensive Master of Arts degree in Anthropology, which includes preparation in archaeology, cultural anthropology, and biological anthropology. The Department of Anthropology has a strong tradition of graduate training at the Master's level with diverse opportunities for graduate student involvement in research in and near Cincinnati, and abroad.
The MA is a professional program that provides graduate training in the concepts, research skills, and knowledge base of anthropology. An MA degree provides preparation for application to a PhD program in Anthropology (not offered at UC). The PhD is required for a career in academic research and four-year college teaching, and for many nonacademic positions at the professional level. The MA degree in anthropology may also be appropriate preparation for further study or careers in such fields as law, medicine, or business, where the student expects to work in a multicultural or international environment.
In addition to our thesis-based MA, we also offer two non-thesis options in our Anthropology MA program:
- An internship-based Applied MA
- An Interdisciplinary MA for students desiring to work or study at the interface between anthropology and practice or between anthropology and other disciplines
