Dig the human race?
Anthropology is basically "the study of humans," where students acknowledge the equal value of all humans and cultures. It is also the most comprehensive of the social sciences, providing anthropology majors with a well-rounded education. In fact, anthropologists often borrow theories and methods from fields such as psychology, economics, and political science, as well as biology, ecology, and zoology.
Students may find themselves specializing in one of the five fields of anthropology: social/cultural anthropology, archaeology, physical/biological anthropology, linguistic anthropology, or applied anthropology.
Even if you do not major in anthropology and simply take a course to fulfill a requirement, you will be introduced to the most intriguing animal on earth, humans. Perhaps, as many students have stated “through learning about others, I was better able to see myself.”
The course list identifies approved courses that MacEwan University may offer. Not all courses will be offered every year and some courses are restricted to particular programs. Contact an advisor in your program for information on course availability.

ANTH 497: Topics in Anthropology
Household Archaeology
Household archaeology is the cross-cultural archaeological study of residential architecture and the activities of the co-residential social groupings - households - that built and used such buildings. Topics of study include approaches to understanding variability in the spatial arrangement of domestic economic activities, social organization, political interaction, enculturation and gender roles, and the ideological meaning of domestic architecture itself.
The information you will need to plan your degree and your major or minor in anthropology can be found under Current Students.
