Culture and society are often the fundamental aspects in a sociocultural anthropology program that studies human nature and cultural diversity within societies. Students may study these aspects in relation with language, religion, psychology and even politics during research and fieldwork.

Master-level studies involve specialized study in a field of research or an area of professional practice. Earning a master’s degree demonstrates a higher level of mastery of the subject.
Earning a master’s degree can take anywhere from a year to three or four years. Before you can graduate, you usually must write and defend a thesis, a long paper that is the culmination of your specialized research.
