[Linganth] MA program in anthropology GSU

[Steven Patrick Black]

Dear Colleagues,
I would like to alert you that the application deadline for Georgia State University’s MA program in Anthropology is approaching: applications are due by March 1. GSU anthropology is a dynamic four-fields program that is welcoming, supportive, and oriented toward training our students for future careers inside and outside of academia. Among our other offerings, we have a museum anthropology concentration and a graduate certificate in ethnography! Feel free to pass on this information to your professional and departmental listservs and inform any undergraduate students of yours who might be a good fit for us.
Information about the program can be found here: https://anthropology.gsu.edu/academics/graduate/
Guidance on expectations for application materials can be found here:
https://cas.gsu.edu/graduate-admissions/graduate-program-admissions-requirements/
And here are some FAQs for applicants:
http://anthropology.gsu.edu/graduate/graduate-student-faqs/

Here are 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.
- 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 offer a concentration in Museum Anthropology and a Graduate Certificate in Ethnography.
- With 13 faculty members and approximately 50 graduate students, we offer a space for intellectual collaboration in the heart of downtown Atlanta. This is a supportive community of teacher-scholars and diverse urban dwellers. Faculty have active, funded research agendas and provide close mentoring to their MA advisees, who typically conduct independent field research and/or 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 or skills to do so.
Feel free to contact me directly with any questions you might have about the program.
Best wishes,
Steven Black
