In a rapidly changing and increasingly globalized world, the insights of anthropology are more valuable than ever. In Anthropology at Waterloo, you’ll explore cultures past and present. Delve into the origins of human and primate evolution, use archaeology to learn more about earlier societies, or tackle contemporary issues such as violence and media. Our first-year introductory anthropology course exposes you to the breadth of this discipline. In your upper years, you can focus your degree on the area of anthropology that interests you most: socio-cultural, archaeological, or biological (physical) anthropology. You’ll graduate to a wide range of career options, including market research, cultural resource management, forensic anthropology, and international development.
Apply to Honours Arts or Honours Arts and Business and choose Anthropology as your major at the end of first year. By alternating school terms and paid co-op work terms throughout your degree, you can explore new career areas and types of employers as your career interests evolve. Co-op is available if you study Anthropology through Honours Arts and Business.
