All applications are considered by a Departmental Admissions Committee. Consideration is given to transcripts, letters of recommendation, statements of interest, and the availability of a supervisor, on their individual merit.
Admission is competitive.
In any given year standards above the minimum will vary depending on the pool of applicants. The Department encourages that outstanding students, with exceptional records in their Bachelor's program and strong backgrounds in anthropology, apply directly to the doctoral program. The Department of Anthropology regrets that it cannot accept students into any graduate program unless appropriate supervision can be provided. Prospective applicants for the Ph.D. Program must, therefore, pay special attention to the regional and theoretical interests of faculty members. In Section 20 of the SGS Application Form A, you must indicate the specific program code of the program to which you are applying.
