For more information on the PhD program, or for application materials, visit this link, which contains the on-line application form. This will call up a list of the faculty below, with links to biographical blurbs and, in some cases, the faculty member's own homepage. We apologize for the inconvenience. The program normally involves three years of course work. The bulk of the curricular requirements are ordinarily satisfied after the first two years, and the third year normally involves development of a research proposal, advancement to candidacy, and the securing of funding for fieldwork, in addition to further course work.
Students normally take statistics as well.
You might also take the field methods or research design course and some electives. You will have been assigned a first-year advisor. You should meet with that advisor and seek to familiarize yourself with department faculty. By the end of your first year you should be prepared to choose an advisor with whom you wish to continue your work. Your research interests should be getting more focused.
