Key Summary

About: The Bachelor in Anthropology offers a comprehensive study of human societies, cultures, and their development throughout history. Students engage in both theoretical and practical approaches to understand various aspects of human behavior and social structures. The program emphasizes research methodologies and fieldwork experiences, preparing graduates for diverse roles in the field of anthropology.

Career Outcomes: Graduates can pursue careers in cultural resource management, social research, education, public policy, and non-profit organizations. Positions might include roles as anthropologists, ethnographers, or social scientists.

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, with the added bonus of work experience if you take the co-op stream.
