Students in the programme at Humboldt State University form a cohesive thesis and career plan while they focus on one of the modern or traditional areas of anthropology or utilize the freedom that is intrinsic within the discipline to bridge disciplines as relevant to research and career interests.
This innovative hybrid program begins with an intensive Summer Institute held on the HSU campus. During this time, students build camaraderie, receive introductory methods training, and are introduced to the many facets of the discipline and program.
After the Summer Institute, students undertake remaining requirements (courses, internship, thesis) via full-time or part-time online distance learning to enable freedom in location of residence and research.
The online coursework is primarily asynchronous to enable flexibility in planning days and times to complete assignments each week. Students are generally not required to be present on campus after the Summer Institute, but many choose to remain on campus to take elective courses, be involved in labs, and form study groups.
