The Department of Anthropology offers graduate training in social, cultural, and psychological anthropology. In conjunction with the Judaic Studies Program, students may concentrate in Near Eastern archaeology with a focus on Israel and Jordan. Students pursuing anthropological archaeology are expected to take required courses in anthropology and engage in field research. Some teaching opportunities may be available for M.A. students as well. Dissertation Fellowships may be awarded to doctoral students at the dissertation stage of their studies.
Funds are also available for support of travel to archaeological excavations.
Students are also eligible for research-travel funds to other campus libraries of the University of California, as well as for grants that permit research in archives and libraries elsewhere. Students who read papers at scholarly conferences may also receive financial support for their participation. The deadline for applications is January 15.
