School of Anthropology

History

The School of Anthropology traces its roots back over 100 years. It was founded in 1915 as the Department of Archaeology, with the appointment of Byron Cummings as Professor of Archaeology and Director of the Arizona State Museum. It became a broadly-based, four-field Department of Anthropology in the 1940s under the direction of Emil Haury, and soon after emerged as one of the leading Anthropology programs in the United States.  The department was reconfigured as the School of Anthropology in 2009. 

The School of Anthropology currently consists of five divisions: applied anthropology/BARA, archaeology, biological anthropology, linguistic anthropology, and sociocultural anthropology, with multiple faculty affiliated with each. A number of recognized program strengths crosscut these division: Anthropology of the Southwest, Anthrozoology; Community Based Research and Cultural Heritage in Arizona and the Southwest; Ecological and Evolutionary Anthropology; Health, Medicine, and Discursive Practice; International Migration, Borders, and Refugees; Mediterranean Studies; Sex, Gender, and Sexuality.

Additional Information

This is an Accelerated Master's Program (AMP).

The Graduate College offers exceptional undergraduate students in selected majors the opportunity to earn both a bachelor's degree and master's degree in as few as 5 years. The Accelerated Master's Program is for the top undergraduates in participating majors who plan to continue in a graduate program in the same, or closely related, UA discipline.

Programs will select from among a qualified pool, based on the following criteria. Individual programs may have more stringent or additional requirements:

  • Completion of a minimum of 75 undergraduate credit hours will be required at the time of application; a minimum of 90 undergraduate credit hours will be required at the time of entry into the AMP. If the student's GPA falls below 3.30 at the time s/he has completed 90 units, the student will not be admitted into the program. Courses taken for audit may not be included in the total number of units counted for eligibility or admission.
  • Completion of at least 12 earned units of undergraduate course work in the major at the UA.
  • Units still graded Incomplete, units graded Pass/Fail or units taken as audit will not count toward the requirement of the 12 undergraduate units in the major.
  • Completion or near completion of general education requirements.
  • Submission of a graduate application and payment of a graduate application fee.
  • Demonstration of the maturity necessary for success in an accelerated, highly competitive program.
  • Expectation to complete the undergraduate degree within four years. The undergraduate degree requirements must be completed before the student is eligible to have the Master's degree awarded.
  • Interested students should verify departmental requirements as they may have additional or more stringent requirements than the Graduate College minimum requirements.
