DEADLINE: The deadline for Fall semester is January 1st of each year for the Ph.D. program, and July 1 for the MS program. We only accept applications for fall semesters. We encourage applicants to submit their paperwork as far in advance of the department's January 1st deadline as possible to make their application most competitive, because this gives enough time for the required letters of recommendation, transcripts, and so on to arrive and be processed. A master's degree is not required for consideration for admission to the Ph.D. program.
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE: Departmental teaching assistantships are awarded on the basis of academic excellence. The departmental admissions committee will make selections and financial assistance will be included with admissions letters for those students who have been selected. Students with superior records may be nominated for University-Wide Graduate Assistantships. Please be aware that all awards are highly competitive. The application deadline for a Graduate School or departmental assistantship is January 1st. No assistantships are offered for the MS program. An application for admission must be on file before an applicant can be considered for graduate assistantships.
We appreciate your interest in our program. Please contact us for further assistance in the application process or if you have questions about the Ph.D. degree program. You can send email to: anthro@uga.edu or direct postal mail or telephone calls to:
