Anthropology, by its very nature, is an interdisciplinary enterprise, and is sought out by many other disciplines for cross-fertilization of ideas. Emory‘s graduate program in Anthropology foregrounds cultural and biological anthropology, placing special emphasis on cultivating dialogues and combinations of people, interests, and ideas that cross, connect, and transcend the field‘s received sub-disciplines.
The principal objectives of the graduate program in archaeology are to provide:
1. Informed, critical examinations of core issues in archaeology
2. Comprehensive training in principal methods and theories of anthropologically oriented archaeology
3. Direction and support for Ph.D. candidates preparing for research and teaching positions in a wide variety of domains of archaeological practice.
While students who wish to pursue Ph.D. training in...
