Are you curious by nature? Are you interested in knowing how we have evolved to our present form as a species, while at the same time marveling about the biological and cultural diversity of humans, and how we have adapted to so many different environments? Are you always intrigued by the latest archaeological and forensic discoveries? And, above all, are you interested in understanding the human condition from a holistic integrated perspective, which includes knowledge and methods from the natural sciences, the social sciences, and the humanities. If the answer is yes, then Anthropology is for you!

The general objective of our flexible Anthropology programs is to provide a broad and critical understanding of all fundamental aspects of humans and human societies, with courses in the four sub-disciplines of Anthropology: Archaeology/Prehistory, Biological/Physical Anthropology, Socio-cultural Anthropology and Applied Anthropology. We stress culture as the unifying characteristic that has made humans unique, and survey both human biological and cultural evolution, as well as contemporary human variation, adaptations and change everywhere. This broad perspective aims at preparing our students not only to understand humanity, but also to providing the basis for practical applications of anthropological knowledge and insights to solve present and future human problems. This includes applications in such areas as Medical Anthropology, Anthropology of Development, Forensic Anthropology, and Cultural Resource Management.  Our students also learn how to do basic anthropological research, including lab and fieldwork in archaeology.

         The various degree options in Anthropology provide them with a set of qualitative and quantitative methods, and the critical thinking, reading, writing and learning skills that will allow them to pursue a variety of career objectives.  Most of our students who aspire to an Anthropology related career succeed, others find jobs in related fields in government and international organizations, or are successful in pursuing entrance to professional careers, such as Medicine, Public Health, Dentistry, and Nursing. Last but not least, the rate of acceptance of our students to graduate studies is very competitive with other similar programs.

We encourage you to search YouTube for “Anthropology” and “Anthropologist” and watch some of the excellent introductory videos posted there.

QU'EST-CE QUE L'ANTHROPOLOGIE?

L'anthropologie est l'étude holistique du genre humain et met l'accent sur l'évolution biologique et culturelle, les variations et les adaptations dans l'espace et le temps. Elle se distingue des autres disciplines qui étudient les humains parce qu'elle intègre les connaissances de presque toutes les disciplines des sciences naturelles, sociales et appliquées ainsi que des humanités. Le cadre de travail interdisciplinaire apporte des perspectives qui ne se trouvent pas ailleurs et fait de l'anthropologie une matière de premier ordre pour le XXIe siècle.
