Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology with Subsidiary Subject (Honours)

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.The Honours with Subsidiary program allows students to pursue a combined study in two disciplines while maintaining Anthropology as the principal subject. This enables students to broaden their knowledge of other academic disciplines without sacrificing the concentration in Anthropology.
