Anthropology is the broad, multi-disciplinary study and documentation of humans, past and present. As an Anthropology student you will have the opportunity to study everything from stone artifacts and skeletal remains, to a community's economic structure and unique dialect. Our Department of Anthropology has four distinct sub-disciplines with many different topics to explore in each: Archaeology, Bioanthropology, Linguistics, Socio-Cultural Anthropology. Our courses blend in-class lecture with seminars, labs and field work to provide you with a well-rounded background in both the theoretical and practical applications of your area of interest. You will have access to world-class laboratories and anthropological collections which have contributed to groundbreaking findings and been utilized by some of the foremost leaders in the field. Our faculty members are active and innovative researchers on an international scale, which is reflected in our renowned undergraduate research opportunities. Our faculty members regularly work with undergraduate students on special topics courses and projects, many of whom have presented their findings at various national archaeological conferences and established themselves very early in their careers. Additionally, we run a field school over the summer to provide hands-on training in archaeological excavation, laboratory analysis, material culture identification and mapping. These field schools typically take place in Northwestern Ontario, however we have partnerships with organizations in Croatia, Israel and Italy should you wish to choose a unique destination to supplement your studies.
