Program details

Overview

The Anthropology program at the University of Regina leads to a Bachelor of Arts, with an honours option, completed over four years. It focuses on cross-cultural understanding of human societies through comparative study of cultures, examining topics such as language, gender, violence, and death from anthropological and posthumanist perspectives. The degree is offered jointly through the University of Regina and its federated institutions, Campion College, First Nations University of Canada, and Luther College, giving students access to course offerings and instructors across all four. The curriculum blends theoretical grounding in anthropological method with applied discussion of contemporary social issues, and admission pathways differ depending on whether a student is entering directly from high school, transferring from another institution, or applying as a mature or international baccalaureate student. This program suits students interested in how human societies are organized and how cultures differ and interact. Graduates pursue varied careers, including work as consultants, urban planners, teachers, human rights advocates, government officials, and writers, and the degree also serves as a foundation for further graduate study in anthropology or related social science fields.

Requirements

Minimum GPA: 70.00 / %
Admission Requirements: The Anthropology program page sets out no admission requirements of its own beyond directing applicants to select their student type and consult the Faculty of Arts application guide. Under the University of Regina's general high-school assessment, applicants are judged on a four-course average — English or Français Language Arts, a higher-level math or calculus course, and two further approved math, science, social-science or language courses — with early conditional admission available to Grade 12 students on their Grade 11 and completed Grade 12 marks; for Fall 2027 entry the Faculty of Arts sets that average at 70%. International undergraduate applicants pay a $100 CAD application fee and, unless exempt, must show English proficiency: IELTS Academic overall 6.5 with no band below 6.0, TOEFL iBT overall 83 with no section below 20 (tests before 21 January 2026; overall 4.5 on the revised scale afterwards), PTE Academic 59, CAEL 60, or Duolingo English Test 120 overall with a Literacy score of 105.

Application Details

Application Deadline: Domestic applicants to the University of Regina apply for Fall 2027 entry with a recommended early deadline of 15 March 2027 for best course selection and a final new-applicant deadline of 15 August 2027; Winter 2027-28 entry has an early deadline of 1 November 2026 and a final deadline of 15 December 2026, and Spring/Summer 2027 entry closes 15 April 2027. International (study-permit) applicants share the same final deadlines as domestic students for each term but have no separate early deadline. Numerous named programs, including Nursing, Social Work, Bachelor of Indigenous Social Work, Indigenous Fine Arts and Indigenous Education, carry their own earlier deadlines instead of the general dates. Admission is not described as rolling; late non-competitive applications are simply carried to the next term the program accepts. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
