Sommaire

Anthropology is the holistic study of the human species, with an emphasis on biological and cultural evolution, variation and adaptations in space and time. It is unique among the disciplines that study humans because it integrates information from practically all disciplines in the natural, social and applied sciences, as well as the humanities. The interdisciplinary framework of the program provides meaningful and unparalleled insights, making anthropology a prime subject for the 21st century.

• Three-year (general) and four-year (specialized) Bachelor of Arts (BA) and Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.)
