Doctor's degree Anthropology - Arizona State University at the Tempe Campus

Doctor's degree Anthropology from Arizona State University at the Tempe Campus is a Campus Ph.D Anthropology degree that prepares you for a Science career. The primary purpose and scope of the graduate program in Anthropology are intended to lead to the PhD degree . However, special training programs designed to terminate with a master's degree are possible at the discretion of the student and faculty advisors. For example, the concentrations in linguistics and museum studies are at the master's level. The doctoral program is divided into three phases. The first consists of 24 semester hours of course work and readings, culminating in a research portfolio, which normally consists of two research papers. The faculty may require additional hours of course work or other preparation for entering students who are unfamiliar with the concepts of general anthropology at a level equivalent to that of the ASU undergraduate anthropology core. Mastery of the phase I course material is demonstrated by successful completion of a sequence of core courses. Admission to phase II of the doctoral program is granted to students on the basis of performance in phase I, the quality of the MA research portfolio, prior course work, faculty recommendations, and other relevant information. The second phase consists of 30 semester hours of course work, readings in anthropology and related fields, and directed research designed to prepare the student for the dissertation project. Proficiency in one foreign language may be required by the supervisory committee. The second phase is completed when the following have been met: (1) passing a written comprehensive examination and (2) passing the oral defense of the dissertation proposal. The successful student is then advanced to candidacy. The final phase consists of 24 semester hours of research and dissertation. View more details on Arizona State University .
