The anthropology graduate program at The University of Tulsa helps aspiring anthropologists unlock critical thinking and analytical skills to form a vivid understanding of our multicultural world.
Our master’s program focuses on two of the four subfields of Anthropology – archaeology and biological anthropology – allowing students to develop an in-depth understanding of past and present cultures and societies, the processes that shape them, and their environments. Housing extensive and unique comparative collections, archives, and state-of-the-art laboratories, UTulsa provides a platform for collaborative research and practical projects. We offer specialized research instruments such as the latest microscope for surface texture analysis, a laser scanner, and a scanning electron microscope for analyzing archaeological artifacts and specimens. Students develop first-hand comparative knowledge through our extensive collection of chipped stone artifacts and zooarchaeological and paleontological collections, as well as with the Gilcrease Museum and Helmerich Center for American Research.
