人类学文学硕士

佛罗里达大西洋大学的人类学硕士课程为学生提供了对生物人类学，文化人类学和考古学的深入了解，并提供了扎实的理论，方法和分析培训。硕士课程为学生提供了将人类学付诸实践，进行智力探索，创造性地和批判性地构建反映学生特殊兴趣的研究计划的机会。学生们开始学习30学分的课程，其中包括人类学理论，人类学子领域的研讨会，所选子领域的高级培训，主题课程和定量推理。该课程为学生在系主任的指导下进行的硕士论文的独立和原始研究奠定了基础。基于他们在佛罗里达大西洋大学获得的技能和知识，我们的许多研究生都继续在各种机构完成博士工作。
The Masters Program in Anthropology at Florida Atlantic University offers the student an in-depth exposure to biological anthropology, cultural anthropology and archaeology, providing a solid training in theory, methods, and analysis. The masters program offers the student the opportunity to put anthropology into practice, to pursue an intellectual quest, and to creatively and critically construct a research program that reflects the student's particular interests. Students embark on a 30-credit hour course of study that encompasses anthropological theory, seminars in the subfields of anthropology, advanced training in their chosen subfield, topical courses, and quantitative reasoning. The coursework provides the foundation for the student's independent and original research for a masters thesis, developed under the supervision of department faculty. Many of our graduate students, based on the skills and knowledge they acquired at Florida Atlantic University, move on to complete their doctoral work at varied institutions. Graduate students in the Department of Anthropology develop original research projects for their theses. The masters thesis is a demonstration of the student's facility with synthesizing anthropological theory and methods into a sustained and persuasive examination of a topic important in anthropology.<br><br>The M.A. degree in Anthropology focuses on the interplay of methods, data and theory in anthropology and allows for specialization in the subfields of cultural anthropology, biological anthropology or archaeology. The graduate program's emphasis is on the linkage of materials analysis (e.g. bone, shell, ceramic, lithic, interview/observational and behavioral data) to major schools of anthropological thought. The department's program aims to contextualize and advance the understanding of being human in the past and the present. The degree prepares students for doctoral work in anthropology.
