Anthropology from The University of Alabama is a Campus Master Anthropology degree that prepares you for a Science career. A four-field approach is taken in the M.A. program, embracing archaeology, biological anthropology , linguistics and cultural anthropology. Each student must complete a minimum of 30 credit hours. All students are required to complete satisfactorily a core curriculum composed of one graduate course in at least three of the four fields of anthropology: ANT 501 (Anthropological Linguistics); ANT 625 (Survey of the History of Archaeology); ANT 636 (Social Structure) or ANT 641 (Culture); and, ANT 670 (Principles of Physical Anthropology). Additionally, a seminar in Research Methodology (ANT 600) is required. These four core courses should be taken during the student's first year in residence. Remaining credit hours are based on coursework in the student's area of interest, and thesis hours for students taking the thesis option (see below). Entering students must provide evidence of having taken introductory-level courses in each of the four fields before taking the graduate courses. A student who has not had an introductory course may be required to take or audit the appropriate undergraduate course before enrolling in the graduate course. Each student is required to demonstrate competency in either a foreign language or research skill (especially statistics). All students must take and pass comprehensive examinations on their knowledge of the field of anthropology . The student will take three-hour written exams in at least three of the four subdisciplines. The selection of the three areas will be made in collaboration with the faculty advisor. All anthropology faculty will participate in composing the exam questions. The examinations are evaluated by the entire faculty of the department, and performance on the exam is certified by the student's committee. All of the above requirements apply to the degree in general. There are then three options for completing the degree. In a thesis option, the student writes a thesis based on original research. In the research paper option, the student either publishes a paper or presents a paper at a national meeting. In the non-thesis option, the student completes additional coursework. Any student interested in study beyond the master's level should only take the thesis or research paper options. View more details on The University of Alabama .
