The program includes five required core courses, five electives, and a two-semester practicum. All courses are fully online.

The core courses include training in theory, method, and application.  Students must take all of these five courses:

brown bullet ANTH 5010 Anthropological Thought and Praxis I
brown bullet ANTH 5021 Anthropological Thought and Praxis II
brown bullet ANTH 5031 Ethnographic and Qualitative Methods
brown bullet ANTH 5041 Quantitative Methods in Anthropology
brown bullet ANTH 5050 Pre-Practicum: Problems and Cases in Applied Anthropology

In addition, entering students who do not have at least 12 hours of anthropology must take the online leveling course (ANTH 5000 Seminar in Sociocultural Anthropology) the summer before their first year of study. 

Electives help students develop expertise in their area of interest.  We encourage students to take two electives outside of anthropology.  We accept electives from other universities.  In addition, students may arrange independent study courses with their adviser.  The following electives are offered as online courses:

brown bullet 5100 Organizational Anthropology
brown bullet 5201 Medical Anthropology
brown bullet 5300 Migrants and Refugees
brown bullet 5400 Environmental Anthropology
brown bullet 5620 Anthropology of Education

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:

brown bullet ANTH 5800 Applying Anthropology: Practicum I
brown bullet ANTH 5810 Applying Anthropology: Practicum II
