MA in Anthropology - Sociocultural in Norman United States | University of Oklahoma

The University of Oklahoma has offered anthropology courses since 1905, forming an independent department in 1927. Distinguished scholars such as Morris Opler and Robert Bell positioned the Department at the forefront of Native North American academic research. While focusing primarily on North America's southwest, southeast, and plains regions, we've also cultivated expertise in Latin American studies. Our program provides Master's degrees in anthropology, applied linguistic anthropology, and socio-cultural anthropology, along with a Ph.D. in anthropology. The curriculum delivers comprehensive instruction across anthropology's four core areas: sociocultural studies, archaeology, biological anthropology, and linguistics. Featuring more than twenty faculty members and approximately seventy graduate students, our program ensures individualized guidance from experienced mentors. Operating within a mid-sized department, students access the advantages of a major research institution while thriving in a supportive academic community. Alumni have achieved success in obtaining university faculty positions, as well as careers in cultural preservation, museum work, and governmental archaeological roles.
