What it is	You study human societies and cultures, both past and present, through fieldwork, artifacts, and observation. This program includes mandatory work terms where you apply classroom learning in real jobs related to anthropology or social science. It suits people curious about how different cultures work and who want practical experience alongside theory.	Anthropology is the study of human cultures, societies, and how people live around the world — both now and in the past. You'll examine everything from language and belief systems to how communities organize themselves and adapt to their environments. This program suits people curious about why humans behave differently across societies and who want to understand cultural diversity on a deeper level.	A degree in linguistics, language and society teaches you how languages work, how people use them, and what role language plays in culture and society. You'll study subjects like how languages change over time, how brains process speech, and how language connects to history, law, and Indigenous cultures. The iBA version requires you to spend a year studying abroad in a French-speaking environment, giving you immersion in language learning alongside your coursework. This program suits people curious about communication, cultural diversity, and how language shapes human experience.
