Introduction
The graduate Anthropology program at NDSU centers on human heritage past, present, and future, both cultural and material, and it is based on the principle that graduate-level education in Anthropology is a desirable preparation for a growing number of career orientations.
The focus of graduate education in Anthropology is directed toward both the development of applied anthropologists and the advanced training of those seeking to pursue a doctoral degree.
Students may elect to take courses in a specialty area, or they may pursue a background in general anthropology. Areas of specialization include cultural anthropology and archeology. Students in the Anthropology program at NDSU benefit from a favorable faculty-to-student ratio.
Two program options are available for students.
- In the thesis option, students work on a research-based thesis.
- The comprehensive study option is designed for students who wish to combine their studies with some type of specialized field or internship experience.
