Program Mission
The goal of the Applied Anthropology program from Texas State University is to produce the next generation of applied anthropologists — leaders in inter- and intra-disciplinary research who will help solve critical societal problems in the global 21st century. Further, the department aims to produce professional, ethical, and productive graduates for employment in the academic and non-academic job markets. The graduate curriculum, fieldwork and internship opportunities, laboratories, and research centers provide an excellent foundation for student research, proposal writing experience, and numerous training and educational activities. The department is committed to multiculturalism, the diversity of people and ideas, a spirit of inclusiveness, and a global perspective.
Career Options
The global economy has created a tremendous need for research-based information and pragmatic uses of anthropological knowledge and skills, creating exciting and extensive career opportunities for applied anthropologists in nonacademic and academic settings.
