About the Master of Arts in Anthropology
The Department of Anthropology at Sacramento State University offers a Master of Arts in Anthropology. Our department embraces an integrated approach to anthropology and provides general graduate-level training in the four subfields: archaeology, cultural, biological, and linguistic anthropology. Beyond this foundation, each student designs a plan of coursework specific to their post-graduate goals in one of the four subfields. Students are then expected to demonstrate mastery of their subfield by preparing a thesis of original scholarly research.
Our M.A. degree prepares students for a range of careers and future educational opportunities, including but not limited to:
Professional careers in
- Cultural resource management
- Non-governmental or community-based organizations
- Healthcare
- Economic development
- Program evaluation
- Government and private sectors
- Doctoral training in anthropology and related fields'
