Overview

We welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds and believe that the anthropology discipline is enriched by the skills and knowledge of other disciplines.

Key Facts

In addition to students with undergraduate or master's degrees in Anthropology, our current graduate students have backgrounds in public health, English, history, psychology, journalism, biology and zoology. Recent graduates had majors in economics, law and Spanish literature.

Our faculty and students conduct research and scholarship of the human experience across a wide range of geographic contexts, time periods and issue areas.

Master’s coursework at Syracuse University exposes students to the breadth of anthropology. The degree can be earned concurrently with a Certificate of Advanced Study or a second master’s degree, or earned in advance of more narrowly defined scholarly studies and doctoral research topics. Students must take at least five core courses, including a two-course sequence within their subdiscipline, and at least three core courses in other subdisciplines, followed by a qualifying exam in their subdiscipline: either the History of Anthropological Theory and Ethnology OR Archaeological Method and Theory.

Students who do not continue beyond the master’s level are required to submit a master’s paper, which is a significant piece of work on a subject of the student’s choosing, and approved by the advisor.
