The iBA program caters to students passionate about examining global trends and international affairs through the lens of Humanities and Social Sciences. Its primary goals are to equip learners with crucial knowledge and critical thinking abilities needed for investigating cultural, economic, political, religious, and societal phenomena across worldwide contexts.
While both the iBA and traditional BA degrees mandate completing at least 120 credit hours, the iBA stands apart by incorporating specialized international studies coursework and mandatory language training.
A distinctive program requirement involves spending time abroad, achieved either through (1) attending a Memorial University field school or foreign institution, or (2) completing an international work placement beyond Canadian borders.
Anthropology studies offer excellent preparation for various professional paths including social sciences, healthcare, education, law, business administration, and media careers - particularly for those seeking deep comprehension of decolonization, cross-cultural dynamics, and human diversity. Anthropology graduates have successfully entered diverse sectors such as: higher education and policy-making; multimedia journalism; documentary production; medical services; global development initiatives; and advocacy for social/environmental causes.
