Everyone,
I got my BA in Religion back in 2008. I've since decided I'd like to get my PhD in anthropology. I have a 3.85 GPA, taught English in Korea for 2 years, lived in the Philippines recently for a couple of years and I speak Filipino.
Firstly, I was wondering what my chances are of getting accepted into a PhD program. Secondly, I'd like to know at what programs I could study the Philippines. I've done quite a bit of research myself but I can only find two programs (Texas A&M and University of Georgia) that have professors interested in the Philippines. Ideally, I'd like to focus on Filipino drug mules and human trafficking or indigenous tribes.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what universities I could study at? Should I get my Master's first simply to get back in the swing of things and reacquaint myself with the current state of anthropology?
What say all of you? Any information is greatly appreciated!
The Process
