Graduate Studies The Department of Anthropology of the University of Maryland offers graduate study leading to the Master of Applied Anthropology (M.A.A.) and the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degrees. Both degrees reflect the department’s interest and expertise in applied anthropology—the application of anthropological knowledge, anthropology-in-use, and practicing anthropology— in a variety of institutional and community settings. |

|
Ph.D. Program The Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) program’s focus is to direct original research and to encourage theoretical and methodological advancement in such a way as to reflect upon the specific practices of anthropology. |

|
M.A.A. Program The Master of Applied Anthropology (M.A.A.) is a program designed both for students interested in an anthropology career outside of academia and for those who plan on continuing to a PhD. |
