Where are they now?

We often receive inquiries about the whereabouts of out Ph.D. graduates. In recent history - since the late 1990s - most of our graduates move into academics. Indeed, of the 32 Ph.D.s from the period of 1998 to 2004, two-thirds of them have an academic appointment. Most of the other graduates are in applied research. All are in an anthropology position of some manner.

We are actively seeking information on Ph.D.s who received their degree before 1998. Please contact the department chair (Clark Larsen), and let him know your whereabouts. We would very much like to hear from you.
