MA in Anthropology - Biological Anthropology in San Marcos United States | Texas State University

The Department of Anthropology at Texas State equips M.A. students with skills for their professional journeys. Our graduate students actively participate in fieldwork programs and internships, partner with professors on research initiatives, engage in practical projects alongside experts, showcase their findings at conferences, and contribute to scholarly publications.
At TXST Anthropology, we're breaking down barriers - whether national boundaries, academic silos, or divisions between theoretical and applied anthropology. Our work combines rigorous theory, empirical research, practical application, public engagement, and innovative approaches to create meaningful change beyond traditional anthropological confines. The M.A. program's goal is to develop skilled, professional anthropologists prepared for contemporary challenges. Students can specialize in archaeology, biological anthropology, or cultural anthropology.
