Graduates pursue rewarding careers in diverse sectors including government, corporations, NGOs, and educational institutions.
Our MA program equips students with advanced anthropological theory and research methodology. Through one or two years of study, learners specialize in their chosen focus area while completing either a capstone research project (one-year track) or academic thesis (two-year track).
