Program details

Overview

The Honours BSocSc Anthropology is a 120-unit undergraduate degree at the University of Ottawa that studies the diversity of human societies through comparative analysis. Coursework includes in-depth qualitative field work and examines cultural change and intercultural relations in the context of globalization, development, migration and new technologies. Students develop skills in observation, comparative analysis and qualitative research methods that apply to work in community organizations, government, international development, cultural resource management, heritage work and further graduate study in anthropology or related social sciences. The degree is awarded as a Bachelor of Social Sciences, Honours. The program is offered in English and in French, includes a French immersion stream, and co-operative education placements are available, allowing students to combine academic study with paid work experience related to their field before graduating.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Ontario secondary-school applicants need English 4U (ENG4U) or Français 4U (FRA4U) as the only subject prerequisite; no other Grade 12 course is required. The published minimum admission average is 75%, calculated from the applicant's top six 4U/4M/DU grades including the language prerequisite. This line covers the great majority of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Social Sciences programs at the University of Ottawa, including single-subject majors, Honours variants, joint-honours combinations of two Arts or Social Sciences disciplines, and the general Interdisciplinary Studies (BA/BSocSc) credentials. Some programs in this group carry an additional stream (French Immersion, Co-op, or an In-Depth Experiential Learning Stream) that does not change the academic admission line. Meeting the minimum average does not guarantee admission where a program is oversubscribed. Applicants completing Environmental Studies without Biology 4U are advised to take a replacement course in first year.
