What can you study as part of an anthropology science program at UTM?

As part of an anthropology science specialist or major program, you can study generalist anthropology or you can choose to focus on a specific subfield / field of interest.

Archaeology is the study of all aspects of human life in the past, using material remains as evidence of past human activity.

Biological Anthropology is the study of human biology and how it relates to cultural and physical environments.

Forensic Anthropology is the study of body deposition and scene reconstruction, human remains recovery, human identification, the postmortem interval, and skeletal trauma in modern legal contexts.

The Anthropology of Health is the study of the effects of cultural and socioeconomic processes on biological and health outcomes in human populations.

Generalist Anthropology refers to a broad grounding in the various subfields of Anthropology, for maximum career flexibility.
