The Graduate Program in Anthropology at the University of Virginia prepares new generations of anthropologists to teach, conduct research, and undertake community-engaged work, applied and theoretical, at home and abroad. We admit new graduate students biannually, in three subfields: sociocultural anthropology, archaeology, and linguistic anthropology. Every other year, a new class of about 8 PhD and up to 6 MA students across the 3 subfields begin their studies. The department is known for its warmth, collegiality, and supportiveness, one where classes are small, students work closely with faculty and peers, and students are encouraged to take courses in other disciplines.
