Master of arts in anthropology

Students can pursue an MA in Archaeology, Public Archaeology, Linguistic Anthropology or Sociocultural Anthropology. In rare cases students may also pursue an MA in Biological Anthropology, but most master's-level students in biological anthropology pursue the Master of Science degree. Students from any academic major can apply for the MA in anthropology. The Master of Arts degree is a four-field degree which normally takes two years. While students focus on one subdiscipline of anthropology, they are required to take a course in each of the other subfields (except for the MA in Public Archaeology).
