Michigan, Berkeley, Yale, UChicago, Harvard and UPenn are probably the best programs out there these days. Of these, I’d say Chicago, Yale and Harvard are strongest at the undergraduate level. For archeology in particular, Chicago, Penn and Yale are usually considered the top, and fund a ton of expeditions (Arizona is also great in archeology).

There are also a few LACs with good undergraduate programs, such as Wesleyan, Wellesley, Hamilton, Oberlin, and Vassar, but do a lot of in-depth research if you’re interested in the LAC route, since the course offerings and quality can be very small and vary from year to year depending on whether faculty members leave or not.

Other top university programs in anthropology:
Arizona, Stanford, UCLA, UCSD, Florida, UTexas, NYU, Illinois, UC-Santa Barbara, UC-Davis, Columbia, Wisconsin, WUSTL.
