The Department of Anthropology at UK offers graduate training in three traditional subdisciplines of anthropology:

• Anthropological Archaeology
• Biological Anthropology
• Cultural Anthropology

and a cross-disciplinary program in:

• Medical Anthropology

We train students to become professional anthropologists who can engage in both academic and non-academic settings, with strong foundations in theoretical and substantive areas.

We encourage students with research goals that traverse these sub-disciplines to take classes across the sub-disciplines, and develop a graduate program that supports their interests.

For specific areas of research, see faculty profiles on the Directory/Faculty page and Research/Department Research Themes page.
