Requirements

Admission Requirements: UBC Okanagan's Anthropology program page states no specific courses are required beyond UBC's general admission standard for the Bachelor of Arts, and directs applicants to UBC's own admission-requirements pages, which vary by the applicant's home province, state, or country, for the complete standard. The program page sets no minimum admission average, since each program is assessed against the strength of its own applicant pool rather than one fixed cutoff. All applicants, domestic and international, must meet UBC's English-language admission standard, satisfied at the undergraduate level by IELTS Academic overall 6.5 with no band below 6.0, TOEFL iBT overall 90 (Reading 22, Listening 22, Writing 21, Speaking 21) on the legacy 120-point scale, or overall 4.5 (Reading 4.5, Listening 5.0, Writing 4.5, Speaking 4.0) on UBC's newer 6-point TOEFL scale.
