ABSTRACT
An undergraduate university program teaches some fairly complex skills, and the better programs allow to multiple opportunities, in class and out, practicing and perfecting them. A graduate program usually takes a step further, prepares for independent enquiry, and allows developing and carrying through a project of own. Graduate school may also give the opportunity to do some teaching, which imparts even more skills. The University of North Texas offers a Master's degree entirely online. A few schools, like the University of South Florida and Oregon State, now offer the PhD in applied anthropology. Practitioners probably makes sense to look at schools which have taken the time and trouble to put together purpose-driven programs focused on anthropology's applications, and which see it as part of their mission to prepare at least some of their graduates for work outside the university.
