Prospective Graduate Students
I am looking for highly-motivated students with strong interests in Southeast Asian archaeology and public archaeology. Please send me an email if you’re interested joining our graduate program.

Prospective graduate students should browse the Department of Anthropology Graduate Admissions Website, which has information about the admission requirements, scholarships, logistics, and support, and also look at the faculty and graduate student research interests page. We rank applicants to the graduate program on the basis of the strength of their research statement and fit with faculty areas of expertise, and on their track record of academic achievement as shown through letters of recommendation, grades, test scores and examples of written work.

Graduate students can be offered teaching or research positions to help support their studies as available through the Department of Anthropology. Additional support through research assistant and work/study positions Burke Museum, and for those who need to learn a foreign language, FLAS fellowships may also be available. Because internal funding is extremely limited, we encourage applicants to apply for external support, through NSF or other foundations.
