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.
Our curriculum combines classroom instruction with seminars, laboratory sessions, and fieldwork to give you balanced training in both theoretical concepts and practical skills. You'll work with exceptional laboratory facilities and anthropological collections that have supported revolutionary discoveries and been used by top experts in the discipline.
Our professors are internationally recognized researchers, offering outstanding undergraduate research possibilities. They frequently mentor students through specialized courses and projects, with many undergraduates presenting their work at national conferences and making early career impacts. We also operate a summer field school providing practical experience in archaeological digs, lab work, artifact analysis, and site mapping. While most field schools occur in Northwestern Ontario, we collaborate with institutions in Croatia, Israel, and Italy for those seeking international study opportunities.
