The Department of Anthropology offers Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science programs in Anthropology and a Bachelor of Arts program in Development Studies. Students wishing to emphasize the social sciences and humanities in their Anthropology program should register for the BA degree. Those who wish to emphasize the natural and biological sciences in their Anthropology program should register for the BSc degree.

The Development Studies program is designed to provide students with an understanding of issues, policies, and practices associated with global development issues in the context of both Canada and developing countries. In addition to critical interdisciplinary perspectives for conceptualizing and analyzing issues, students will gain practical skills for designing, implementing and effectively managing community development projects. The program, therefore, prepares students for further studies, as well as for employment in governmental, non-governmental, and other international development-related fields in Canada and abroad.
