    The department has an expectation for applicants applying to the Master of Arts graduate degree to have majored in anthropology in their undergraduate degree. Applicants who did not major in anthropology will be looked at on a case-by-case basis for admission. Applicants with a non-anthropology background may be recommended for acceptance into the Pre-master's program, which consists of consisting of up to 18 hours of courses from the undergraduate, and especially the advanced, curriculum.

    The Pre-master's program is normally reserved for students with an academic background other than anthropology. Anthropology students who do not have a four-year (Honours or Advanced BA) undergraduate degree or who lack a sufficient grade point average in their undergraduate degree are recommended to seek advice from the department on how to use the Special Student category to upgrade their qualifications.

    Anthropology has large and vibrant master's programs in sociocultural anthropology, biological anthropology and archaeology. The experience of our faculty ranges across much of the world, from the far North to the tropics, and around the globe from Asia to the Americas.
