Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology (Joint Major)

St. Francis Xavier University

Anthropology is the study of humans. Of course, scholars working in other disciplines also study humans: sociologists study human societies medical researchers study human bodies philosophers study human thought. Anthropologists draw on ideas and knowledge from all of these fields and then add their own particular perspective. As a StFX Anthropology student, you will look at the social world and ask fundamental questions about the development and behaviour of human societies. Exceptional faculty members guide you to think critically about the development and behavior of human society, explore the way human cultures differ, and explain what it is that makes humans different from other animals. A Joint Major allows you to combine your specialization in Anthropology with another discipline and have both recognized in your degree. Some areas of specialization include: Aquatic Resources Celtic StudiesDevelopment Studies English History Philosophy Political Science Psychology Sociology Women's Studies
