Overview
The graduate program in anthropology leads to the Ph.D. degree. By admitting a small cohort each year, the Department of Anthropology at Johns Hopkins University encourages close working relationships between students and faculty and the opportunity for students to develop their anthropological interests in ways that are uniquely suited to them to become researchers, scholars, and teachers.
Features
- We also encourage and help develop students wishing to pursue non-academic research careers in keeping with the needs of the contemporary world.
Programme Structure
Curriculum:
- Students are expected to conduct exploratory fieldwork during the first summer. They are to write a proposal for this fieldwork and discuss their work upon return in a departmental methodology workshop. This workshop accompanies the Methods course, which is a requirement for students in their second year.
- For the comprehensive exams, students are required to write two essays (one conceptual and one on their study area). These essays will ideally also help develop their dissertation research proposal. The essays should preferably be completed by the end of the second year. A course called Regions has been developed to assist students in writing the essays.
