PS Submit a Statement of Purpose online. Write a focused Statement of Purpose. Tell us of those aspects of your background that are relevant to a graduate career in Anthropology and tell us specifically what research questions interest you, what background you have in those interests, and where you would like to do your research. The Statement of Purpose is also a vehicle for you to demonstrate your writing skills. Focus on your specific research interests, not on your generic fascination with the human condition, the plight of the oppressed, the beauty of human culture, or the glories of Anthropology. By all means talk about your philosophy, sentiments, and the factors in your personal history that incline you to Anthropology, but keep in mind that faculty are MOST interested in what you hope to do as a graduate student. GPA A minimum GPA of 3.0 is required, but the average GPA of our accepted students is generally over 3.5. CV Optional CV Fee Apply online and pay the nonrefundable $30 application fee.
