About the Anthropology Program The Department of Anthropology at the University of Lethbridge provides students with a strong background with a wide variety of courses in its B.A. program in the discipline, from the history of the discipline to contemporary theory and practice. As an important part of the University's liberal arts curriculum, the program also helps students better understand themselves and their own society and culture in relation to those from other social and cultural backgrounds, a goal that is especially important in Canada's multicultural context.

Possible Career Paths Further Graduate Training A B.A. in Anthropology can be an effective route to a number of different careers. Much Anthropological research traditionally was done by people holding a Master's (M.A.) or Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree. Further graduate training is an option that is followed by many students. University of Lethbridge Anthropology B.A. students have had an excellent record in gaining admittance to, and in completing postgraduate studies, both in North America and Europe. About one third of our majors eventually go on to do further graduate education. Professional Disciplines The B.A. degree also provides an excellent foundation for further studies in professional disciplines such as Law, Medicine, Management, Education, as well as in the other social sciences. Related Fields Still others with a B.A. in Anthropology will `cross over' into another field to learn how to apply their Anthropology to a wide range of institutional and cross-cultural contexts. They train in how to do anthropologically oriented research to provide better service delivery or to assess social issues and social problems, such as in public health, education, urban planning, social welfare, government planning, immigration, museum management, international development, and First Nations contexts.
