<p>I'm interested in getting my bachelors in anthropology, and I was curious which schools are known for their programs? (Oh, and I'm not quite ivy-league material, but I'm definitely top tier, 3.8 uw, 4.3 w, 2000 SAT, 31 ACT.)</p>
<p>Look into Michigan and Chicago</p>
<p>Are you looking for a program that’s culture-specific? For example, the University of Hawaii has an excellent Anthropology program, but it’s almost exclusively Polynesian/Oceania focused.</p>
<p>It’s a better strategy to choose the college as a whole, not a specific department. Students often change majors. As far as I know, there is no comprehensive, reliable ranking for undergraduate anthropology departments. Even if there were, it would not show which one is the best fit for a given person.</p>
<p>Below are some possibilities.</p>
<p>Universities with highly-regarded graduate level anthro programs
Berkeley, Duke, Michigan, Chicago, Arizona</p>
<p>LACs with high PhD production rates in anthropology
Beloit, Bryn Mawr (women only), Grinnell, Haverford, Wesleyan</p>
<p>Universities that have made the Rugg’s Recommendations list for anthropology include:
Brandeis, Case Western, Florida, Illinois, UCLA, U Washington</p>
<p>LACs that have made the Rugg’s Recommendations list for anthropology include:
Barnard (women only), Colorado College, Macalester, New College of Florida, Pitzer, Skidmore</p>
<p>Thanks guys! that was exactly what I was looking for.</p>
