Other Requirements

In addition to the University's minimum requirements and those listed above, all applicants are required to submit a writing sample and a statement of purpose.

The department requires that two faculty members sponsor an applicant before admission is recommended. Prospective sponsors are canvassed by the Departmental Admissions Committee, but it is also appropriate for applicants to contact potential sponsors.

M.A.: A degree in anthropology is not required, but is highly desirable. If an applicant with a B.A. or M.A. from another field is admitted, a program of background studies in anthropology is formulated.

Ph.D.: Students who are entering the graduate program with an M.A. degree, whether or not in anthropology, are required to demonstrate basic knowledge of the discipline before being permitted to begin the requirements for the doctorate.

Graduate students who have been readmitted to the program are subject to any changes in departmental policy and regulations that have been instituted since the last time they were enrolled as an Anthropology major.
