Undergraduate Programs and Courses

The study of Anthropology reveals the integrated patterns of social and cultural life from a cross-cultural perspective and examines the cultural and biological background of human evolution. At the University of Winnipeg, you may pursue this broad area of study within the more specific fields of Cultural Anthropology, Linguistics, Archaeology, and Biological Anthropology. For students considering a Major in Anthropology, the Department offers 3-Year, 4-Year, and 4-Year Honours BA degrees.

Anthropology provides students with academic preparation for pursuing a wide range of careers, and is especially relevant to those that apply an objective and broad-based understanding of human values and social relations. Graduates find career opportunities in numerous professional areas, including teaching, archaeological and cultural research and resource management, consulting, law and law enforcement, public service, and the health professions. 

Students taking an undergraduate degree in another Major may choose to add a Minor in Anthropology as a secondary are of interest.
