NYU’s PhD in Anthropology trains scholars to produce original research across sociocultural, biological, linguistic, and archaeological subfields. Students engage in ethnography, fieldwork, and lab analysis to examine the complexities of human life, past and present. With mentorship from top faculty and access to global research sites, candidates contribute to theory and policy on migration, inequality, evolution, and culture. Graduates enter academia, museums, NGOs, and public discourse as thought leaders.
