The City University of New York offers a Ph.D. program in anthropology with a specialization in physical anthropology. The school focuses on six different realms of research: the comparative morphology of humans and primates, primate ecology and social behavior, modern human biology, skeletal growth and development, bone biology, forensic anthropology and comparative anatomy. The physical anthropology department works closely with NYU and Columbia, offering students access to labs and research institutions controlled by each. A specialized program with the New York Consortium in Evolutionary Primatology is also available to students who want to focus directly on primate behavioral and evolutionary biology.

New York University is another school that is part of the previously mentioned New York Consortium for Evolutionary Primatology, which some Ph.D. students take part in. The physical anthropology graduate degree here, though, offers a number of different opportunities for students, the consortium being only one of them. It is home to the Center for the Study of Human Origins, which combines physical anthropology and archaeology to study the origins and evolution of human beings. The anthropology department also publishes the Journal of Human Evolution, in which graduate students have the opportunity to publish their research. The physical anthropology Ph.D. is a six-year (more or less) program that focuses on primate socioecology, molecular anthropology, paleoanthropology, human origins and skeletal morphology. International research takes place in Ecuador, China, Indonesia, Bolivia, Costa Rica and a number of other locales.
