Overview
The program provides general graduate-level training in four interrelated fields: sociocultural anthropology, archaeology, biological anthropology, and linguistic anthropology. Beyond this foundation, each student designs a plan of coursework specific to their post-graduate goals in one of the four subfields.
Key Features
- Students are then expected to demonstrate mastery of their subfield by preparing a thesis of original scholarly research.
