With six undergraduate modules to choose from, students have the freedom to focus on a particular subdiscipline of Anthropology. Our modules allow students to develop both specialized and more general degree programs, with the option to combine anthropology with other academic disciplines.​

The Anthropology Department offers many courses that count in Linguistics program modules, and which focus on social and structural aspects of language. The inter-faculty Program in Linguistics allows Western students from any Faculty to study Linguistics either on its own or in combination with another subject, including Anthropology. Students who want to focus their studies on language may choose to include a Linguistics module in their degree. 

​To request entry to any of our modules you must submit an Intent to Register (ITR). For more information about the ITR process, please visit the Social Science Academic Advising website or Office of the Registrar (OOR) website.​

​Students who have already been registered in an Anthropology module from a previous year may continue to follow their current module. Alternatively, students can switch and follow the new module versions moving forward. Please check in with us if you have any concerns or if any special permission for substitution may be required.​
