Overview

This Anthropology program at University of Virginia is designed for UVA undergraduates who wish to pursue a master's degree in anthropology to deepen their understanding of the many possible ways to live in the world.

This program aims to allow students to complete the MA program in as little as one additional academic year, meaning that students can graduate with both a BA and an MA in a total of just five years. But this takes planning! Students typically apply in the spring of their 3rd year of studies (though 4th-Year students are still eligible).
