Anthropology is the comprehensive study of human beings, past and present, in comparative, cross-cultural and holistic light, emphasizing the dynamic nature of cultural adaptation and change. Our students and faculty carry out extensive field work in Canada, as well as in many areas of the world, including Latin America and eastern Europe. Students can apply for the 2-year thesis-based MA focusing on medical or environmental anthropology, or the 18-month project-based MA focusing on practicing/applied anthropology.
