About MA in Anthropology:

​​​The anthropology MA program offers students general training in socio-cultural anthropology. AUB's program, especially with regard to its faculty's expertise in creative expression and arts production, mental health and well-being, cultural ethics, refugees, medical, and legal and historical anthropology, is distinguished by offering students the opportunity to develop a strong foundation in classical anthropological paradigms and to relate them to emerging concerns of modern Arab societies. Students will have the opportunity to study the development of the discipline by exploring classical and contemporary theories and by conducting original fieldwork or doing research on secondary sources. The program is designed to sensitize students to their responsibilities as anthropologists, expose them to fieldwork, help them acquire an understanding of anthropological theory and history, and to inspire experimentation with the medium and form of ethnographic writing.
