Dear colleagues:
I would like to alert you that the application deadline for fall 2018 admission to Georgia State University’s MA program in Anthropology is approaching:  Applications are due by March 1 for preferred consideration for funded Graduate Assistantships or by April 1 for all prospective students.  Please pass on this information to your professional and departmental listservs, and do inform any undergraduate students of yours who might be a good fit for us.
 To that end, a few key facts about our program:
-          We are a four-field department:  the faculty includes sociocultural anthropologists, archaeologists, biological anthropologists, and a linguistic anthropologist.  We are recruiting graduate students in all sub-disciplines.
-          Despite this broad representation, our faculty and students find common ground 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 also have a brand-new Concentration in Museum Anthropology.
-          With 11 faculty members and approximately 40-50 graduate students at any given time, we offer a space for intellectual collaboration in the heart of downtown Atlanta. This is a face-to-face, supportive community of teacher-scholars and diverse urban dwellers.  Our faculty have active, funded research agendas and 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.
-          Our graduates go on 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, skills, and professionalism to do so.
