Welcome to the Department of Anthropology

We have moved

The Department of Anthropology has now been officially relocated to the Earth Sciences building. You will find our main office located in Earth Sciences 620. Telephone numbers remain the same.

The Department of Anthropology consists of eleven full time academic staff, plus a number of adjunct and sessional instructors. The Department offers two undergraduate programs: a BA in Social and Cultural Anthropology, and a BSc in Anthropology. Descriptions of each of these programs can be accessed through the "Undergraduates" tab above

In addition, the department offers two thesis-based graduate programs: MA in Anthropology and PhD in Anthropology. To date the department has graduated over a hundred and seventy masters and doctoral students. For information about graduate programs in Anthropology, please contact the Graduate Program Administrator.

Note that at the University of Calgary, Archaeology and Linguistics constitute separate departments within the faculty of Arts and can be accessed through their own departmental web sites
