Question
Could you recommend (or point me in the right direction) distance learning (or part time) courses in Business anthropology/anthropology of work? I am having a hard time seeing the trees... I am looking at MSc level or equivalent, perhaps higher (!?) I have postgraduate background in Medicine, Psychiatry and Business Administration. Many thanks!

Hi Leandro,

Business Anthro seems to be a uniquely American type of degree.  I've not heard of any European Universities that have it.  Two US universities come to mind.  Wayne State University in Detroit MI and University of Arizona to name two.  WSU would be my choice.  But the question I have for you is why would you want this additional degree?  You degrees in Med and Psy along with business probably gives you most of what you need except a bit of cultural anthropology and modern ethnography (Culture studies).  That you should be able to find on your side of the pond.
