  • The Archaeology-Biological stream has a unique component in that our current anthropology field school involves direct interaction at a high level with First Nations communities and Anthropology professionals, and has been endorsed by the British Columbia Association of Professional Archaeologists, the first such endorsement in Canada.
  • The Social-Cultural stream prepares students for a piece of knowledge- and information-based economy in an increasingly globally interconnected world. Learning in this area of our field is conducted through a high degree of community service work involving brokering between divergent stakeholders.
  • The emphasis of Anthropologists at KPU is the applied aspect of our profession. Our teaching is realized through hands-on activities, lab work, and community events whose experience has the ultimate goal of understanding any aspect of humans and their activities.
