MAA /MHP Course Requirements

A total of 66 credits are required for the dual M.A.A./ M.H.P degree. Please note that a portion of these, in the form of credits for the internship sequence, must be taken over the summer and students are responsible for the cost associated with this. Students are reviewed annually to ensure adequate progress towards the degree.

Applied Anthropology and Historic Preservation requirements (including seminars) may be met by appropriate courses numbered 400 or higher. Approval of elective courses by the student’s graduate advisor is required.
