Overview

An Anthropology degree at University of Hawaii at Manoa may be an end unto itself, or preparation for admission to the PhD Program, which provides opportunities for further specialization. A PhD is typically required for a career in academia. The Department also offers alternative terminal MA tracks in Applied Archaeology and Applied Cultural Anthropology.

The academic program

There is a campus-wide New Graduate Student Orientation (NGSO) during the week before the Fall semester starts, hosted by the Graduate Student Organization (GSO). The Department of Anthropology also hosts an orientation session for its own new students during the same week. It is run jointly by the Anthropology Graduate Student Association (AGSA) and faculty members. Entering students should receive an information packet from the department about this during the summer.
