PhD in Anthropology

This record covers the doctorate in archaeology within the anthropology department. Students examine core issues critically and receive full training in the methods and theoretical frameworks of archaeology as practiced in an anthropological tradition. Mentoring and support are directed at candidates heading toward academic posts across many areas of archaeological practice. The department as a whole has an archaeology program and a social anthropology program, each with distinct study plans and examinations, and it also grants a master's degree in medical anthropology. Doctoral applicants apply through the Griffin Graduate School (GSAS). Undergraduates can pursue the concentration through Harvard College, and the continuing-education division teaches part-time degrees in the subject as well. The program page pairs a short summary with links to learn more and to apply. It does not publish tuition, duration or deadline information, so applicants should confirm those details with the admitting school before planning.
