The Master of Arts in Public Anthropology (MAPA) at Boston University's College of Arts & Sciences is designed for individuals aiming to integrate anthropological training into professional fields such as medicine, public health, education, journalism, environmental management, social services, rural development, or public policy. The program provides foundational anthropology theory and methods, covering cross-disciplinary perspectives. Students complete a minimum of eight courses (32 credits), including core coursework in anthropology and research methods, with opportunities to take electives in related fields. A final research paper, guided by faculty, integrates anthropology with the student's target area of application, preparing graduates for roles in NGOs, government, consultancy, or further study. The program does not require GRE or foreign language proficiency for admission and is flexible for students from varied undergraduate backgrounds. 来源： https://www.bu.edu/anthrop/admissions/graduate-admissions/
