We offer graduate programs leading to the Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in Anthropology.  We strive to produce students with strong expertise in particular specialty areas plus broad backgrounds in all four major sub-fields of anthropology (Archaeology, Biological, Linguistics, and Sociocultural) and an appreciation for the holistic nature of the discipline. In accord with this philosophy, we offer a flexible program which serves students with diverse interests and goals. See also the Anthropology listing in the current Graduate Catalog for description of our programs and details of admission requirements.
