Entry requirements

The Ph.D. Anthropology normally will be undertaken on a full-time basis, however the department will consider admission on a part-time basis. Full-time students are expected to complete the program in four years, and part-time students are expected to complete the program in eight years. The normal requirement for admission to the Ph.D. program is a master's degree (or equivalent) in anthropology, normally with a minimum average of A-, and with no grade below B. A student already enrolled in the Carleton M.A. program in Anthropology who shows outstanding academic performance and research promise may be permitted to transfer to the Ph.D. program upon completion of the M.A. course work and upon the recommendation of the Anthropology graduate committee.

Graduate programmes normally admit to the fall (September) term; some programmes also consider applicants for the winter (January) or summer (May) terms.

Apply online through Carleton360. Applications for most programmes for the upcoming Fall, Winter and Summer terms open on 1 June. Most programmes have two deadlines per term: the first for guaranteed consideration of admission and funding, the second if space and funds remain. Application fee: C$125, non-refundable, paid by credit card and not waived.
