Graduate ProgramsBrief OverviewThe Department of Anthropology offers doctoral training anthropology designed to provide the theoretical background and the methodological skills necessary for a career in professional research and teaching anthropology at the university level, and for the application of anthropological knowledge to contemporary problems. There are slightly different course requirements for:
Despite the small variations in requirements, the only degree title is "Anthropology," and we assume all students will become familiar with a very wide range of anthropological issues and methods. Of course, any department has interests and strengths which are not captured in a list of its requirements. Prospective students are urged to review the page on our faculty and its research interests reached from the Faculty & Staff link. Titles of completed Ph.D. dissertations over the years are available on the Graduate Students & Alumni link. (Our biological and archaeological specializations are new, and not yet well reflected in that list.) |
