The department recognizes three principal sub-fields of anthropology in which a PhD may be earned: archaeology, biological anthropology, and sociocultural anthropology. The MA degree may be earned while pursuing the doctoral degree. Each of the respective graduate programs requires the completion of the core requirements; archaeology and sociocultural anthropology requires a reading knowledge of one foreign language. The major areas emphasized in the faculty and curriculum are North America, Africa, and Asia. A formal concurrent MPH/PhD degree program with the departments of Epidemiology, Global Health, and Health Services is also available. The PhD programs require at least three years beyond the two-year master's level, including a year of field research and a year to organize field materials (archaeology and sociocultural anthropology) and write a doctoral dissertation.
Graduate: Limited financial aid is available in the form of teaching and research assistantships. Small monetary fellowships for entering/continuing students are available.
