<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="color:black">Here are a few key facts about our program:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="color:black">- We are a <b>four-field department</b>: the faculty includes sociocultural anthropologists, archaeologists, biological anthropologists, and a linguistic anthropologist. We are recruiting
graduate students in all sub-disciplines.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="color:black">- Despite this broad representation, our faculty and students find <b>common ground </b>around a number of themes, including but not limited to: medical anthropology and forensics,
material culture and museum studies, urban and applied anthropology, biocultural approaches to race, food anthropology, and the anthropologies of Latin America, Europe, and the United States. We offer a <b>concentration in Museum Anthropology </b>and a <b>Graduate
Certificate in Ethnography</b>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="color:black">- With <b>13 faculty members</b> and approximately <b>50 graduate students</b>, we offer a space for intellectual collaboration in the heart of <b>downtown Atlanta</b>. This is a supportive
community of teacher-scholars and diverse urban dwellers. Faculty have active, funded research agendas <i>and</i> provide close mentoring to their MA advisees, who typically conduct independent field research to complete the MA. Others complete internships
at organizations and agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="color:black">- <b>Our graduates go on</b> to work in a range of fields from public health to refugee resettlement to museums or marketing research. Others enter PhD programs in anthropology – often
with full funding. This is an excellent program both for students who wish to enter professional fields immediately following the MA and for those who aspire to pursue doctoral work but may not yet have the background, skills, and professionalism to do so.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
