Program Overview
Anthropologists study humans and non-human primates. Anthropology is both a science and a social science, depending on the area of focus. Anthropologists study all peoples (and primates), in all places, throughout time. The difference between anthropology and other disciplines is the way anthropologists approach their studies: comparatively and holistically. At Selkirk College, the focus is more on the social science side of the discipline. There are seven, first and second-year anthropology courses at Selkirk College to choose from.

ANTH 101 - Introduction to Anthropology II
ANTH 110 - Introduction to Biological Anthropology
ANTH 205 - Anthropology of Religion
ANTH 210 - Introduction to Archaeology

Career Potential
Anthropology is a field that provides enormous flexibility in meeting the demands of an ever-changing labour market. The critical thinking, research, analytical and writing skills are applicable to multiple fields. Two of the fastest growing areas of the discipline are in business development, marketing and branding, and in health-care related fields. Anthropologists are in higher demand in the United States than MBAs because of their broader skill set. There are numerous paths that an anthropology degree can take you, besides being a teaching professor.

Getting the right start at Selkirk College is exactly what Haley Seven Deers accomplished over the last two years in the School of University Arts & Sciences where she arrived as a 16-year-old who was homeschooled. In September, the young scholar will move to Kelowna where she will have the opportunity to complete her undergraduate degree with help from a $20,000 entrance scholarship.
