Anthropology encompasses the comprehensive, interdisciplinary examination and recording of human life across time. As an Anthropology student, you'll explore diverse subjects ranging from ancient stone tools and bone specimens to modern economic systems and regional speech patterns. Our Anthropology Department features four specialized branches: Archaeology, Biological Anthropology, Linguistic Anthropology, and Socio-Cultural Anthropology, each offering numerous research avenues.
Our curriculum combines classroom instruction with seminars, laboratory sessions, and fieldwork to deliver balanced training in both theoretical concepts and practical skills. You'll work with exceptional laboratory facilities and anthropological collections that have supported major discoveries and been used by leading experts worldwide.
Our professors are internationally recognized researchers, creating outstanding undergraduate research possibilities. They frequently collaborate with students on specialized courses and projects, with many undergraduates presenting their work at national archaeology conferences and making early career impacts. We also offer summer field schools for practical experience in archaeological digs, lab work, artifact analysis, and site mapping. While most field schools operate in Northwestern Ontario, we maintain international partnerships in Croatia, Israel, and Italy for those seeking distinctive study abroad experiences.
