Anthropology

The Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology at Washington State University is an innovative and interdisciplinary program that covers all four sub-fields of anthropology – Archaeology, Cultural Anthropology, Evolutionary Anthropology, and Physical Anthropology. This degree provides students with a comprehensive education in the fundamentals of anthropology while also giving them the opportunity to specialize in one particular area such as socio-cultural anthropology, human evolution, or linguistics. Graduates from this program are well-prepared for careers in research laboratories or academia settings working on projects ranging from archaeological excavation to ethnographic fieldwork. They may also pursue further studies leading towards advanced degrees such as postdoctoral programs allowing them to become experts within their chosen field while making meaningful contributions towards enhancing public understanding and appreciation for the diversity of human experience.
