Qualification Requirements

It is the objective of the anthropology department to produce doctors of philosophy of the highest quality. The Ph.D. requirements build upon the educational training and background gained through the completion of master's requirements. Ph.D. students are expected to demonstrate outstanding quality in coursework. They must demonstrate that they are qualified to carry out a significant body of anthropological research. Once their proposal has been approved by their committee, they are expected to carry out the project and write a dissertation based on this research.

Admission and aid are decided by an examination of previous transcripts, references, GRE scores (strongly recommended by the Department, required for nomination for a University Fellowship), and statements of interest. Applicants should not feel bound by the page limit implied in the graduate school application for the statement of interest. Write a careful, thoughtful statement showing how anthropology at Syracuse relates to your goals and interests. When possible, a sample of recent work (a term paper, chapter of an MA or honors thesis, book review, etc.) should be included with your application.
