Master of Arts [M.A] Anthropology
The Department of Anthropology offers a graduate program leading to the Master of Arts degree in Anthropology. The course work in this program is conceptually four-field, with faculty strengths in archaeology, cultural anthropology, and physical anthropology. Students are admitted to the program by a graduate faculty advisor (visit the Faculty Page for the UCF Department of Anthropology) and can choose to pursue a thesis or non-thesis option. A graduate plan of study dependent on the student’s interests will be individually developed with his or her graduate faculty advisor. Students in the program are prepared to enter doctoral programs or begin professional careers following the MA degree.
