Admission Requirements
Academic Requirements
The normal admission requirement is a Bachelor of Arts Honours degree in anthropology with at least a 3.0 (B) average. However, funding for the program is competitive, and a student with a cumulative GPA of less than A- (3.7) is unlikely to be funded. Eligibility for funding is a consideration for admissions into the program.
Students are expected to have a strong undergraduate background in the subdiscipline that they intend to conduct graduate research. Promising students without an anthropology Honours degree or without adequate subdisciplinary background may be admitted for a qualifying or probationary period (usually two semesters).
English Proficiency: IELTS 6.5 or equivalent.
