Alumni ListThe Master of Applied Anthropology degree at the University of
Maryland is still the only Masters degree of its kind. Many other
departments offer a Master of Arts (MA) in anthropology with an
applied concentration, but the Maryland degree is unique in its
commitment to placing applied theory and practice at its core.
The following list of alumni represents those professional anthropologists
who hold this unique MAA degree. Our alumni work in a variety
of domains and possess a degree that allows them to move around
quite a bit so keeping up to date with this growing list is always
a work in progress.
