Guidelines For Students in the PhD Program
The Department of Anthropology revised its guidelines for PhD students in 2015. Those who entered the program before 2015 should follow respective program guidelines below. All students who enter the program after 2015 are expected to adhere to these guidelines: 2024 ANTH GRAD Handbook.
Work leading to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Anthropology is designed to give prospective candidates a thorough and comprehensive knowledge of their professional field and training in their methods of research. Students entering the Nautical Archaeology Program receive a PhD in Anthropology with additional specialized coursework and dissertation research in ship reconstruction, seafaring, and conservation.
