Introduction

Anthropology, Ph.D. is a PhD program taught at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, USA. The program is offered in campus-based modes with full-time options.

The Anthropology graduate program focuses on understanding the nature and origins of human diversity, using a four-field approach in archaeology, biological anthropology, linguistic anthropology, and sociocultural anthropology. Students take courses in research methods, application, and theory.

The program requires a minimum of 36 credit hours in courses numbered 500 or above, including five required courses: Research Design (ANT 600), Culture (ANT 641), Prin Biological Anthropology (ANT 670), Linguistic Anthropology (ANT 501), and Theory & Method In Archaelogy (ANT 603). Students have a faculty sponsor at initial contact, who becomes a provisional advisor until a permanent advisor is identified, and they follow plans under this guidance.

The degree is designed for students intending to continue on a PhD and for students who will enter careers that require only the master’s. Roughly half of the students admitted into the PhD program each year are graduates of the program.
