Anthropology explores human unity and diversity, along with primate relatives, examining cultures and societies through comparative and global lenses. The University of Toronto has taught anthropological subjects for almost 150 years, with its Department of Anthropology formally created in 1936. This department has housed many leading figures in Canadian anthropology. Faculty members investigate contemporary and historical human societies, cultural practices, evolutionary origins, and closely related species. Graduate studies are available in sociocultural, medical, biological, linguistic, and archaeological anthropology.
At the master's level, the Department provides two graduate programs: Master of Arts and Master of Science. The Master of Arts covers all five anthropology sub-fields, while the Master of Science typically focuses on archaeology, medical, and evolutionary anthropology. Both programs start with comprehensive anthropological education before narrowing to specialized research, concluding with a focused thesis paper. Each admitted student receives guidance from an assigned Advisor.

Qualification Requirements
Applicants to the MA and MSc programs are expected to hold an appropriate Bachelor's degree, with a final year average of at least B+ or its equivalent from a recognized university. Normally, students must have at least five full-year Anthropology courses (or equivalent) with a minimum average of B+ to allow them to specialize in their proposed areas of study. However, the department also welcomes applications from students with competence in related fields, in line with our interest in innovative cross-field and cross-disciplinary work. Students who have done coursework in related fields which they would like the admissions committee to consider should attach a separate sheet as a last page to the research statement, listing these courses and explaining the relevance to the proposed program of study in anthropology.
