Course Overview
The free-standing M.A. program in Anthropology is designed specifically for those who wish to cultivate a deeper understanding of the discipline of anthropology and improve their particular professional competence, but who intend only to pursue the M.A. degree. Study may be undertaken on either a full-time or part-time basis. Applicants with degrees in medicine, psychiatry, business, social work, the arts, library science, theology, demography, law, foreign affairs, international relations, criminology, linguistics, architecture, planning, and community affairs are encouraged to apply for admission to the program, while professionals in the fields of education and nursing are encouraged to consider appropriate programs at Teachers College. The graduate faculty includes professors in the Department of Anthropology at Barnard College. These offerings are enhanced by a joint program with the American Museum of Natural History. Other institutions including Teachers College and Columbia's Regional Institutes and School of International and Public Affairs and New York museums, enrich the Columbia experience. Research facilities include an archaeology laboratory; the Center for Studies in Ethnomusicology; the American Museum of Natural History; the Museum of the American Indian; The New York Botanical Garden; the Wildlife Conservation Society; Wildlife Preservation Trust; the University libraries and the computer center.
