At the graduate level we offer a coursework-based MA program which does not involve fieldwork and is designed to be completed in 12 months a thesis-based MA program which requires ethnographic fieldwork and a PhD program which requires ethnographic fieldwork. We also offer a one-year graduate diploma which does not require research.Many of our former graduate students have gone on to become professional anthropologists. Others have used anthropology to build careers in fields such as journalism, filmmaking, and public policy. In recent decades, the Department has placed a strong emphasis on the use of film and video in our research projects. A number of graduate students have been able to produce ethnographic films to accompany their thesis research projects.MA – The MA program offers both course and thesis options.
