<p>Anybody know a similar, more up-to-date source?</p>
<p>“What do you have against Gourman?”</p>
<p>He misses eight of the top ten schools providing (statistically) the best undergrad preparation for advanced degrees in anthropology.</p>
<p>tk21769- If you’re patient, the new NRC rankings should be out sometime this year. As of about a month ago, they were finalizing the methodology report. Chicago, Michigan, Penn, Berkeley, and Arizona will almost certainly make up the top 5.</p>
<p>vossron-
You are quite wrong. Of the top 30 producers of bachelors graduates who go on for Anthropology PhDs, 26 are listed in the Gourman Report. Gourman even captured Bryn Mawr, an LAC (but missed Wesleyan and Grinnell). This is powerful confirmation of the validity of the Gourman Report.</p>
<p>Okay, I’m wrong (careless reading) about the number (it’s five, not eight) but Beloit, College of the Atlantic, Reed, Haverford and Goddard (all top ten) are not on the Gourman list. :(</p>
<p>I can understand why COA didn’t make the Gourman list. It’s a very good school, particularly if you want to do something relating to marine science, but the anthropology offerings are virtually nonexistent. </p>
<p>PhD placement is all well and good, but a college with ONE anthropologist on staff simply does not belong in a list of the best anthropology programs.</p>
<p>IB, the NRC has been threatening to release those rankings since 2007! It is never going to happen. Hehe!</p>
<p>
Yeah…methodology report…:rolleyes:
Give us the rankings!
Why do they need to carefully craft a “methodology report”? Methodology should take a few hours to write - including footnotes.</p>
<p>From my perspective, there is a very good Cultural Anthropology department at Rutgers-NB. But the problem is one you will find all over Rutgers, not enough personal attention. If you are a super serious student and can get into Swarthmore, try Swat. If you can go international, go Oxford. Tons of famous anthropologists have emerged from Oxford. But if you need something more mid-level try Beloit. The quaker-ish style school automatically gives it a great anthro-department because of the Quakers respect, understanding, and intrigue of other cultures(lol).</p>
<p>Beloit in not Quaker, maybe you are thinking of Earlham?</p>
<p>I’m from North Dakota. I’m a High School Gradute. Looking for the best college or university that offers Anthropology, and I’m leaning towards both Social and Cultural. Any school that offers something higher then a Bachelors degree. The two Universities in my state only offer in Bachelors. So anything with a higher degree in Anthropology would be awesome I would love to find out soon as possible. Sooner I know the sooner I can Apply for Fall Semester</p>
<p>You have to get the BA first; why do you care about grad school now? Going to a different grad school is a common suggestion.</p>
<p>Go beloit anthro!!!</p>
