Program information:
- The Master of Arts degree has two main objectives:
- 1. To provide a thorough understanding and background in the theories and methods of anthropology, including field research, for preparation to enter a Ph.D. program.
- 2. To train students interested in a Master of Arts degree with a sufficiently broad base to qualify for Junior College or Community College teaching positions, work as a consultant or within an organization utilizing anthropological theories and methods, and to conduct independent research

Currently (2007) more than 45 graduate students are working towards the Master of Arts degree in the department.
- Our department has 11 core faculty and a number of lecturers that cover the broad spectrum of anthropology. With a regional focus on the Pacific Rim, our anthropologists work locally here in San Diego and southern California, as well as internationally in Mexico (Baja California, Oaxaca, and Campeche), Belize, Venezuela, the Solomon Islands, and Indonesia. One of our program’s greatest strengths is that we provide numerous opportunities for students, at both the undergraduate and graduate level, to engage in research with faculty. Our students can gain research experience through annual field schools as well as through collaboration with faculty on current projects. Come see how and why SDSU was recently named the top small research university in the United States.
