Anthropology (B.A. or B.Sc.)
Learn from renowned experts and researchers in one of the most highly regarded Anthropology programs in Canada.
What does it mean to be human? Anthropology examines peoples and cultures across the world to create a window into the past to better understand how humankind has changed, remained the same, and how it might change in the future. Ideal for students who are curious about the way that people live their lives and why they themselves do the things that they do, Anthropology incorporates history, geography, biology, archaeology, and linguistics to develop an understanding of humans that is diverse, objective, and compassionate.
