Master of Arts in Cultural Heritage

Program Overview

The Cultural Heritage Option is a way to earn the MA degree in anthropology while focusing on methods and theories related to preserving the culture, heritage, and diversity of all peoples. It is designed to produce professionals in the many areas of culture heritage preservation who are firmly grounded in the fundamentals of anthropology. This is a broad option, which can accommodate students with interests in a variety of areas, including:

  • Cultural Resource Management, Historic Preservation, Prehistoric Archaeology, and similar archaeologically focused studies
  • Ethnohistory, Tribal Recognition, Culture Preservation, Language Retention, and similar ethnographically focused studies
  • Museology, Educational Anthropology, Public Archaeology, and similar areas that focus on interpreting cultures for the general public

The curriculum for students choosing this option is chosen in consultation with an appropriate faculty advisor, who will help guide the student toward appropriate classes for fulfilling their goals. Since this option is designed to train professionals, the focus is on practical professional experiences, which may include an internship with an appropriate company or agency. Out of which will emerge a professional paper, exhibit, portfolio, or other original creative work that is used to satisfy the MA degree requirements. Students who satisfactorily complete one of the following sets of requirements (plans) will earn the Master of Arts degree in Anthropology with the Cultural Heritage option.
