Anthropology and Distance PhD

The study of social sciences is indeed very interesting. The great thing about the social sciences is that they branch out further into smaller divisions; one as interesting as the next.

One good example of a very popular division of social sciences is anthropology. Anthropology is basically the study of humanity.

It is sub-divided into two types of human study: Cultural anthropology and physical anthropology.
Cultural anthropology focuses on the social and cultural ideologies of man.
Physical anthropology, on the other hand, is focused on physical manifestation of the man's progress throughout history.

The great thing about anthropology is that it can be studied online.

You can even take up doctorate studies in anthropology online. If you want to take up an online PhD, the first thing you have to do is look for a good school to apply with. There are many American and international institutions that offer online PhD programs.
Each institution has different requirements, but there are a few that are constant in all distance PhD programs offered. Of course, one has to possess a Master's Degree or a Bachelors Degree with honors.
Second, one has to pass the application process, which may include over-the-web interviews. Lastly, one has to meet the minimum GPA, based on your last cumulative GPA. In order to finish your distance PhD, you'd have to submit all requirements, including a dissertation on a particular topic.
As long as you submit all requirements in a timely fashion, you'll be rewarded with a PhD.
