<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;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.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">- 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>.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;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

the Centers for Disease Control.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">- <b>Our graduates go on</b> to work in 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 or skills to do so.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
