Social Anthropology (MA) is a thesis-oriented graduate program delivered in person by Dalhousie University's Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology, in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. The program is intentionally small and selective, building a close-knit academic community with an interdisciplinary, comparative, and critically engaged approach to graduate study in anthropology. The nominal length is 16 months or longer, and the department admits a new cohort once a year, every September. Preference in admission is given to applicants holding an undergraduate degree in sociology or anthropology with an average of A- or higher; applicants from other disciplines may be considered if space allows, though they are typically required to complete additional coursework to address gaps in their background. Applicants whose previous education was not in English must submit a recognized English-language test score. Domestic annual tuition for Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences master's programs is published at $9,945 for the 2026-27 academic year.
