The curriculum is designed to:

  • provide students with a basic training in the theory and method of anthropology;
  • equip students with the analytical skills, sophistication, and open mind necessary for understanding contemporary social and cultural issues; and
  • prepare students for a wide range of careers and further studies.

In the first and second years, students acquire a general training in anthropology, and in the third and fourth years, their knowledge and field work skills are consolidated by a large number of elective courses, which encourage students to pursue their own interests within the discipline.
