Anthropology - BA/MA

A special feature of the Hunter Anthropology Department is the innovative BA/MA program, designed to permit a small number of highly motivated students to begin graduate study before completing their undergraduate degrees. The program allows students to pursue the MA degree as part of the undergraduate curriculum by substituting graduate courses for electives in their degree programs. Participants fulfill all the requirements for the BA and MA degrees in anthropology. The total number of credits taken by the student is 130. At least 30 must be graduate credits (the same number of course credits required of a student admitted as a matriculated graduate student with a BA in hand). Graduate courses may fulfill undergraduate major requirements with the exception of ANTHP 10100 (STEM) . Applicants to the BA/MA program must have a minimum GPA of 3.25 and a minimum of 3.5 in their anthropology courses. Students must apply to the program early in their academic careers, usually before beginning the junior year.

Please note: This program is suspended. It is not currently admitting new students. For further information, please contact the department at (212) 772-5410.
