| What it is | Anthropology is the study of human societies, cultures, and how people live across different times and places. You'll examine everything from family structures and belief systems to archaeology and language. This science-focused version emphasizes research methods and data analysis rather than pure humanities or field studies, suiting students who want rigorous training in how anthropologists actually investigate human behaviour. | You study how human societies work and how to apply anthropology to solve crimes and investigate human remains. Unlike a straight anthropology degree, this program combines cultural and biological anthropology with forensic methods so you can learn practical investigation techniques alongside theory. It suits students interested in understanding human behaviour and material culture who also want hands-on training in how anthropology is used in criminal justice and archaeological contexts. | An Arts and Contemporary Studies program combines the study of human culture, communication, places, and how societies preserve and interpret their past. Unlike a straight humanities degree, this program emphasizes real-world application through optional co-op placements where you work in museums, media organizations, or cultural agencies alongside your studies. It suits students curious about how people live and communicate across different cultures and time periods, who want hands-on experience before deciding on a career path. | This program lets you study how societies, economies, and cultures interact across borders, drawing from fields like history, anthropology, economics, and international development. You'll examine global issues through multiple lenses rather than specializing in one discipline. It suits students curious about world affairs and international problems who want flexibility to explore different approaches before deciding on a deeper focus. |
