Anthropology - Eastern New Mexico University - Main Campus

Anthropology from Eastern New Mexico University - Main Campus is a Campus Master Anthropology degree that prepares you for a Science career. The graduate anthropology program is based on three decades of offering a nationally recognized Master of Arts (M.A.) degree . We have over 35 graduate students currently enrolled. ENMU graduates hold positions across the country with government agencies, private contractors, small universities and community colleges, and in Ph.D. programs with strong financial support. Academic Requirements Graduate students must complete 36 hours of required and elective classes, as well as a thesis defense. If you do not have an undergraduate degree in anthropology, you may be required to take some leveling courses. (Please check the graduate catalog and consult the Graduate School for admission requirements.) Our M.A. program offers a general anthropology background, with a strong emphasis in archaeology. We have had students complete theses in the four areas of anthropology, but most students specialize in archaeology or physical anthropology . Most of our faculty and staff have experience in archaeology, but several also do research in physical anthropology. Most of our classes are small, allowing for direct work with instructors. We also have a fine library, a student microcomputer lab, departmental computers, computer mapping instruments, a Scanning Electron Microscope, a department darkroom and other labs and teaching aids. Hands-On Research Opportunities Our graduate students can earn credit while working on research projects in the museums and laboratories and with ACA. We offer several graduate assistantships that provide experience in the classrooms, on research projects, at museums and also at the Blackwater Draw site. Work-study positions, work fellowships, scholarships and other positions are also available. Students with archaeological field experience may also find work with ACA. An application for assistantships must be returned the semester before you plan to enter the program. View more details on Eastern New Mexico University - Main Campus .
