Program details

Overview

This program is a research-based Master of Arts (M.A.) in anthropology, offered by the only Francophone department specialized in social and cultural anthropology in Canada, emphasizing fieldwork and direct engagement with contemporary sociocultural phenomena. The 45-credit program can be completed in approximately two years of full-time study, with two consecutive mandatory residency sessions; a suspension exceeding three sessions requires reapplication. Students may pursue independent fieldwork research or research within a workplace setting. Admission is offered in the Fall and Winter terms.

Requirements

Minimum GPA: 3.20 / 4.33
Admission Requirements: Applicants need a bachelor's degree in anthropology with at least 60 credits, or equivalent; those from other disciplines may be admitted but must complete preparatory coursework of six foundational anthropology courses (18 credits), which do not count toward the degree. A cumulative average of at least 3.2/4.33 is required. Mastery of written and spoken French is essential, and applicants must also demonstrate good comprehension of written English. A research proposal, three assessment reports, and written supervisor confirmation are mandatory, and candidates must find a research director from the program faculty who accepts them in writing before applying.
