Bachelor of Arts - Anthropology

Anthropology is unique in being a hands-on field of study that focuses on human diversity, past and present, in its material, physical, social, and cultural forms. As a student of Anthropology at St. Thomas University, candidates can expect to get out in the real world, interacting with people in a variety of social contexts, excavating artifacts, and analyzing bones in the university's anthropology laboratory.

Students will benefit from the program’s emphasis on hands-on fieldwork and anthropological experience. The university's lab provides a learning space for them to examine fossils and artifacts, and many courses incorporate off-campus opportunities for observation, research, and analysis.

Students can benefit from course offerings in different areas of Anthropology: • Archaeology • Ethnomusicology • Forensic Anthropology • Social-Cultural Anthropology • Ethnography

By studying Anthropology, students will develop strong analytical skills, the capacity for critical thinking, the ability to write clearly and communicate effectively, and a heightened awareness of—and appreciation for—human diversity.

This will prepare students for a meaningful career in fields like: • Urban and Community Planning • Museums and Historical Organizations • Government • Social Work • Journalism • Law • International Non-Governmental Organizations • Education
