Learn how to use anthropological issues and findings to understand and address important issues in public discourse with the Master of Arts in Anthropology (Public Issues) program. 

The program represents a unique approach to graduate studies where the public issues focus helps you advocate for the relevance of anthropological findings on critical contemporary issues. 

Designed to be completed in four academic terms, you can choose to focus on traditional research topics or take an interdisciplinary approach and explore topics that span multiple sub-disciplines or explore innovative or non-traditional anthropological research topics and methodologies. You’ll conduct research, take courses, and collaborate with top scholars while gaining valuable analytical and communication skills.  

You’ll graduate as a well-rounded expert who is prepared for careers both inside and outside of academia, like a community development office, a public policy analyst or a cultural resource manager.
