Students with a B.A. in Anthropology, as well as those who can apply their previous training and experience to the practice of anthro pology, are welcomed to apply. In order to meet the growing demand in California and elsewhere for professionals capable of addressing the complex problems of multicultural urban and regional environments, the Applied Anthropology Program emphasizes specialized training concurrently with knowledge of anthropological theory.
All graduate students participate in local research projects and internships.
Regional emphasis is on southern California and the Southwest. The student must complete a minimum of 39 units of upper division and graduate courses in a program approved by the Gradute Coordinator.
