The Anthropology Department offers both the MA and PhD degrees. The department includes 19 faculty with active research programs in archaeology, biological and cultural anthropology. The goal of our graduate program is to train leaders in the field.

The Department offers a strong mentoring environment which includes opportunities for students to work directly with our faculty at established field sites across the globe.

The department has excellent laboratory facilities where hands-on training in archaeology, zooarchaeology, bioarchaeology, skeletal biology (human and primate), human biology, paleoethnobotany, archaeological isotope analysis, GIS and ethnographic methods are offered. In addition, most of our faculty members engage in interdisciplinary projects and we encourage our students to take advantage of the top-notch research and training opportunities available across campus.
