PhD Anthropology at University of Florida

Entry requirements

The department of Anthropology offers graduate work leading to the Master of Arts (thesis or non-thesis option) and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. Requirements for these degrees are given in the General Information section of this catalog. The department generally requires applicants to have acceptable scores on the GRE (verbal and quantitative portions) and a 3.5 overall grade point average based on a 4.0 system. Previous work in anthropology is an asset but not a strict requirement for admission. Barring special circumstances, the Department restricts admission to applicants interested in earning a Ph.D. Entering students who have earned a master’s degree in anthropology may apply for direct admission to the doctoral program. The deadline for receiving completed applications for admission into the graduate program is December 15 of the previous year. University-wide graduate admission (not specific to this programme): application through the UF graduate application; official GRE scores are required by most programmes (GMAT for MBA applicants), per programme; transcripts, a CV or resume and letters of recommendation where the programme requires them.
