What it is	Anthropology is the study of human cultures, societies, and how people lived in the past and present around the world. This co-op version requires you to do work terms alongside your courses, giving you real experience in museums, cultural organizations, or research settings. It suits students curious about why societies work the way they do and who want practical field or lab work before graduating.	Anthropology is the study of human cultures, societies, and how people live around the world — past and present. You'll examine everything from how societies are organized to what people believe and how they communicate. This program suits you if you're curious about human behaviour and want to understand different cultures on a deeper level than you would in a history or sociology class alone.	This program combines the study of how societies work — through anthropology, politics, and social policy — with practical skills in starting and running social enterprises that solve community problems. Unlike a straight business degree, it focuses specifically on ventures designed for social impact rather than profit alone. It suits people who want to understand social change deeply and turn ideas into real projects that help communities.	You enter this program without committing to a specific major, taking first-year courses across subjects like English, history, psychology, philosophy, and sociology. This gives you time to explore different areas of arts study before declaring a focus at the end of year one, rather than applying directly to a named program. It suits students who are interested in humanities and social sciences but unsure which direction fits them best.
