Open Curriculum Design at Atlantic International University

The Master’s degree in Sociocultural Anthropology offers students the necessary knowledge to develop professional tools that will allow them to stand out in their field of work, as well as to understand their epistemological status within the social sciences, and their possibilities of operationalization in local, regional, national and international contexts.

Graduates of this program will have the necessary competencies for professional performance. They will diagnose, advise, plan, execute and direct applied research, as well as know the different modalities of direct work with the population and the professional performance in organizational environments.
