The anthropology MA program offers students general training in sociocultural 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; and medical, 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
