"I could be just like Indiana Jones…"
Well, not exactly. 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 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 396 is scheduled for 2011 and ANTH 397 is planned for 2012.
Students should contact the Department of Anthropology, Economics and Political Science for details regarding current offerings.

Planning your Major or Minor in Anthropology
Planning sheets list the specific course requirements for each major and minor in a particular academic year. These requirements can change. The courses you must take to graduate will be determined by the requirements in effect in the year you declare your major or minor.
- Major in anthropology (2012/2013)
- Minor in anthropology (2012/2013)
If you declared prior to March 17, 2012, please visit the Bachelor of Arts current student page for archived planning sheets. Use the planning sheets in conjunction with the BA program planner.
Students interested in archaeology are encouraged to consider EASC 221, EASC 225 and EASC 226 as options to fulfill the science requirement of their BA degree.
