Applied anthropology crosses traditional disciplinary boundaries and is relevant to students of anthropology, history, human biology, environmental studies, religious studies, sociology, art, geography, international studies, political science, and many other areas. The program begins with a four to six week Summer Institute, part of which is online and part of which is held on the HSU campus, during which students will build camaraderie and be introduced to the program and discipline. After the Summer Institute, students undertake the remaining coursework via online distance learning, typically in either three to four full-time semesters or six parttime semesters. Students who would like to be on campus are welcomed and will have access to departmental facilities. Students also have three flexible options for culminating experience, a comprehensive exam, project or thesis. Students will be held to rigorous standards and as such, graduates will gain competitive, broadly applicable skills and be in a position to confidently apply anthropological perspectives, theories, and methods to a variety of careers in today’s academic, non-academic, and increasingly global job market.
