Bachelor of Art in Anthropology and Master of Art in Anthropology [Accelerated]

Mason's anthropology degree is designed for students with interests like yours. In addition to explorations of cultures worldwide, our programs in archaeology and biological anthropology give you hands-on research experience with faculty through fieldwork in bioarchaeology, archaeology, and museum-based research. You are also able to take advantage of the rich cultural anthropological resources of the Washington DC area, including the Smithsonian museums. Our programs in cultural anthropology connect anthropological research to current social challenges such as health and disease, urbanization, militarization, and geopolitics. Students have interned at museums, non-profits, and in the federal government, including the Smithsonian Museum of the American Indian and the US Department of Education. Anthropology majors develop an eye for detail and careful observation, critical thinking, sensitivity to the unfamiliar, skills in research and writing, and an ability to describe and understand culture – an ability particularly valued in a globalized world. The Master’s in Anthropology has special strengths in sociocultural anthropology and bioarchaeology. Students in the program benefit from George Mason’s proximity to the academic and cultural resources of the Washington, D.C., area. The program prepares you for a PhD as well as for careers in government, the private sector, non-governmental organizations, museums, and numerous other fields. You will work with faculty in an R1 university who are committed to individual student mentorship. Areas of faculty expertise include bioethics and climate change, militarization and biotechnology, political economy and markets, food and culture, health and culture, urbanism, transnationalism, bioarchaeology, zooarchaeology, and paleopathology. Faculty have won the Wenner-Gren and Fulbright fellowships and are the recipients of National Science Foundation grants.
