The Master of Arts degree in Anthropology includes preparation in archaeology, cultural anthropology, linguistics, and biological anthropology. The Department of Anthropology has a strong tradition of graduate training at the Masters level, with particular emphasis on archaeology and cultural anthropology. The program stresses broad coverage of anthropologys four subfields, and provides opportunities for graduate student involvement in research.
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 in such fields as law, medicine, or business, where the student expects to work in a multicultural or international environment. Students who have completed their education at the MA level have found employment in cultural resources management (archaeology), museums, education, and related public service fields.
