Program Description

The online master’s program offered by UNT’s department of anthropology was created to serve students who are unable to attend an on-campus master’s program due to geographic, work and/or family constraints. Among other groups, we hope to attract students with diverse backgrounds who have been historically underrepresented in anthropology. This breakthrough program was created by the UNT anthropology faculty using innovative pedagogical designs that maintain the rigor of a fully face-to-face program while making it more accessible. Our department emphasizes the use of anthropology to solve problems and improve people’s lives. All faculty members are applied anthropologists.

Advising Information
By the end of their first semester, students must have selected an advisor, who can be any member of the anthropology faculty. Students’ choice of advisor will be facilitated by an on-campus orientation before the start of the first fall semester, where they will hear presentations by all faculty and have opportunities for informal social contact. Registration after the first semester requires an advising code provided by the advisor. Students should work closely with their advisor to plan their courses and practicum.

Special Issues
There is a required practicum. The practicum is a project for a client. It allows students to integrate what they have learned, and helps position them for their career. It is formalized as a series of two courses: ANTH 5800 Applying Anthropology: Practicum I ANTH 5810 Applying Anthropology: Practicum II
