Anthropology
Anthropology

This program provides students with the tools they need to analyze and understand the vast range of human societies throughout the world. In the process, students learn to apply anthropology's time-honoured cross-cultural, holistic perspective to understand cultural change, globalization and development. Anthropologists also help craft solutions for contemporary social and environmental issues. Emphasis is placed on the unique perspective of anthropological ethnographic research - the long-term, detailed study of societies.
