Join the Anthropology Department
Standard UofL admissions apply – there’s no portfolio, audition or separate departmental application. Once you’re admitted to the university, you can declare anthropology and start exploring from day one. Accelerated BA/MA applicants apply toward the end of junior year.
Affordability Matters
UofL's Cardinal Commitment Grant narrows the gap between scholarships/financial aid and the cost of attendance. Students who receive a Pell Grant, CAP Grant and KEES will have 100% of their tuition covered. Other awards range from $2,000 to $7,000. Pursue your creative dreams without the worry of mounting college debt.
