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.
The 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 revolutionary discoveries and been used by top experts in the discipline.
Our professors are internationally recognized researchers whose cutting-edge work enhances our prestigious undergraduate research programs. They frequently mentor students through specialized courses and projects, with many undergraduates presenting their research at national archaeology conferences and making early career impacts. We also offer summer field schools for practical training in archaeological digs, lab techniques, artifact analysis, and site mapping. While most field schools operate in Northwestern Ontario, international options in Croatia, Israel, and Italy provide unique opportunities to expand your academic experience.
