DUAL-MASTER'S PROGRAM IN ANTHROPOLOGY AND HISTORY

The student will complete coursework in both departments and write a single thesis. Courses will include a series of team-taught seminars titled Presenting Heritage I and II, in which students will be exposed to a variety of topics, including public folklore and festivals, designing museum displays, architectural history and preservation, and working with lay people through clubs and neighborhood associations. Graduates will be prepared for employment with goverment agencies, such as the National Park Service, historic homes, and museums.
