Overview

Program Details

We are a small, selective program that admits about six PhD and up to six MA students each year across the three sub-disciplines.

The Graduate Program in Anthropology at the University of Virginia is known for its warmth, collegiality, and supportiveness, where classes are small, students work closely with faculty as well as peers, and students are encouraged to take courses in other disciplines. Regular workshops prepare students for proposal and grant writing, teaching, professional presentations, and job searches, and each sub-discipline supports faculty-graduate student research workshops.

The Department also sponsors a Colloquium Series that brings everyone together for Friday afternoon lectures by University and visiting speakers.
