Anthropology

A master of arts in anthropology can give you a broad-based understanding of anthropology coupled with experience in a specialized area such as archaeological resources management or Native American studies.

You’ll be able to take advantage of more than 40 courses for graduate students offered through the department, which is part of Ball State’s College of Sciences and Humanities. You’ll work closely with top-notch faculty members offering a range of academic and real-world experiences.

And you’ll have access to internships and field-study trips. When you’ve completed your degree you’ll be ready to pursue doctoral work, which can lead to careers in teaching and academic research, and you’ll be prepared for a variety of careers ranging from archaeological resources management, museum work, or business-related positions that use the practices and theory of anthropology to address real-world issues.
