What can a student do with an Anthropology degree?

Anthropology majors leave Miami for a variety of meaningful and productive futures.
- Some enter graduate school directly after graduation for their M.A. and/or Ph.D. in anthropology, museum studies, public health, and numerous other disciplines in the social sciences and humanities.
- Some head for service-oriented work for 1-2 years with influential organizations: Teach for America, AmeriCorps, Peace Corps, Food Corps, the Urban Teachers Program, or City Year (to name just a few).
- Some work for governmental agencies and other public-funded organizations, such as the U.S. Dept. of State, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and The Smithsonian.
- Some enter directly into the work force by joining corporations who employ anthropologists or consulting firms that offer anthropological expertise to for-profit and not-for-profit organizations. Read a few examples of how businesses realize the value of anthropological training: culture change in corporations; entrepreneurship; branding; women in business; market research; innovation.
