Program details
Overview
The Associate of Arts with a concentration in Anthropology at College of New Caledonia is a two-year credential examining humanity across time through the social, biological, and human sciences. Students develop knowledge of past and present cultures alongside skills in observation, analysis, research, critical thinking, writing, and cross-cultural communication. The program introduces the discipline's four subfields—archaeology, biological/physical anthropology, linguistic anthropology, and socio-cultural anthropology—and can lead to further study in any of them, as well as in diversity studies, education, gender and sexuality studies, or history. As an associate degree, it transfers into university programs and gives preferential admission consideration at public universities and university-colleges in British Columbia, subject to confirmation through the BC Transfer Guide. Graduates pursue roles such as archivist, ethnographer, heritage preservation officer, museum curator or technician, policy analyst, public relations specialist, research consultant, and social service worker.
