Information on our MA degree Program.

Our PhD program, begun in 2010, differs from most traditional three or four-field Anthropology PhD programs in that it is built around four broad research foci that cross cut traditional subfield boundaries:

1. Inequality, Culture, Health
2. Evolution and Ecology
3. Indigenous Peoples
4. Visual Anthropology and Materiality

We feel that this novel approach towards integrative anthropology will place our graduate students at the forefront of a revision of the relationship of anthropology's subfields.
