The PhD program offers a concentration in cultural/social anthropology or archeology as well as a concentration in race, gender, and social justice. Program graduates pursue careers in college teaching and in public and private settings and are prepared to address issues of public policy, community struggle, and other locally defined concerns in their academic projects and in domains outside of academia. Course work draws on anthropology's four-field tradition and on the cross-cultural and interdisciplinary resources within the College of Arts and Sciences and across the university. The program is committed to working with students from diverse backgrounds, including those traditionally under-represented in higher education. Diverse voices and perspectives are fundamental to this program. Masters students may focus their graduate studies in Cultural/Social Anthropology or in Archaeology. Both concentrations combine classroom and experiential field-based learning activities as appropriate for each student's career plans and political goals. Pathways after graduation include working as researchers, community leaders, and grassroots organizers. All graduates are prepared to explore the workings of culture, power, and history in everyday life — to engage social problems, past and present, and to articulate social justice with social change. The curriculum is founded in acquiring skills of critical inquiry, problem-solving, and public communication. The certificate program in public anthropology is for those students seeking to supplement their education while working full-time. Most classes are offered in the evening or on weekends. Students complete 15 credit hours of approved graduate work, which can later be transferred into degree programs.     Accreditation Information: American University is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education of the Middle States Association, an institutional accrediting agency recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education and the CHEA.  # Of Credits Required: 0  Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees Bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university.  Pre-Requisite Courses Please see American University's College of Arts & Sciences Graduate Admission’s website for admission requirements.  International Student Requirements Please see American University's College of Arts & Sciences Graduate Admission’s website for admission requirements.  Requirements Qualifying Exam: GRE Minimum Exam Score: GPA or Equivalent: 3.0 English Proficiency: Yes Research Competency: Clinical Internship:   Work Experience Volunteer Experience Publications Experience Foreign Language Requirement Other Requirements Please see American University's College of Arts & Sciences Graduate Admission’s website for admission requirements.    Cost Per Credit Hour: $ 1178.00  Tuition: 0  Financial Aid Offered:       # of Students Enrolled Full Time: 1631  # of Students Enrolled Part Time: 2109  Average GPA:   Average Test Scores:   Charge Per Credit: $1178  Annual Full Time Avg Institution Tuition: $18864  Financial Aid Offered: Yes  Average Work Experience: Less than 1 Year  Specializations:   # of Terms Per Year: Semester  Placement Percentage:   Historically Black:   Religious Affiliation: United Methodist
