Here’s an exert: “The majority of people who earn terminal master’s degrees in anthropology identify themselves as professional anthropologists and credit their degrees with playing a big part in their career satisfaction, according to a study commissioned by the American Anthropological Association.

The study, called “The Changing Face of Anthropology,” was carried out by the association’s Committee on Practicing, Applied and Public Interest Anthropology, and is the widest-ranging effort undertaken to track master’s degrees in the discipline. Even though the master’s is the most common postsecondary graduate anthropology degree earned — the number of master’s degrees conferred in 2004 was about triple the number of doctorates that year, the authors note — information on what happens to graduates after they leave the academy has been largely absent until now.”

There’s currently a discussion thread on the NAPA LinkedIn group about teaching anthropology without a doctorate degree.  Catch up with the discussion here.
