what are good anthropology schools?

Answer 1

I go to Penn State, and I minor in Anthropology. The ONLY reason I decided to go back to college was to learn about evolution, and I picked Penn State for this reason. I am VERY happy I did. I have taken Honors Anthropology classes, as well as Graduate level Anthropology classes at Penn State, and I am VERY impressed by the Department. The Head of the Department was even featured on the "Colbert Report" to explain her book "Skin". Overall I think it is important to pick a school that is known for the field you want to study (Penn State is) and ALSO is known as having a good reputation (Penn State does). Most of all The "college experience" at Penn State is second to NONE. You can't have a better experience anywhere else. I highly recommend you apply to Penn State.

Answer 2

It completely depends on what you want to do, if you want a four fields school, or not, what your level of education is, and what kind of support you desire. There are a lot of factors. Some very good schools that no one so far has mentioned:

-Washington University in St. Louis
-CUNY
-University of Michigan
-Columbia University
-University of North Carolina
-Manchester (England)
-Johann Wolfgang Goethe University of Frankfurt am Main (Germany)

Answer 4

Visit their websites and look at the faculty/publications, etc. It might be a great school, but completely incompatible with your research interests. If its a grad school you're looking at, talk to your present professors about your interests and what they suggest.
