In addition to the Faculty requirements, the Department requires:

Master of Arts

At least two and one-half full course equivalents in Anthropology at the 600 level. Students in the Social and Cultural stream are required to take ANTH 603, 611, 631 and 633, plus one elective course approved by their supervisor. Students in the Primatology stream are required to take ANTH 603, 613, and 635, plus two elective courses approved by their supervisor. Elective courses may consist of a second semester of ANTH 603, ANTH 605, or a graduate course in another department. ANTH 605 is recommended to all students contemplating an academic career in Anthropology.

Doctor of Philosophy

(a)A specialization of either primatology, or social and cultural anthropology

(b)Anthropology 701, a reading course in the student's substantive area. Beyond that, the supervisory committee will individually tailor each student's course requirements to the student's particular needs.

Students in primatology will be required to collect primary data via experimental and/or observational research on wild or captive primate populations for a period of not less than twelve months.

Expected completion time is two years for the Master of Arts degree and four years for the Doctor of Philosophy degree. Maximum completion time is four years for the Master of Arts degree and six years for the doctoral degree.

The graduate coordinator will serve as interim advisor to those students who enter the program without a designated supervisor, until the graduate studies committee determines an appropriate supervisor.

The doctoral candidacy examination has a written and an oral component, and examines areas of knowledge determined by the supervisory committee in consultation with the student.

Final thesis oral examinations are closed.

Students are required to submit and successfully defend a research proposal fourteen months after initial registration as a full-time graduate student. The defence is open to interested faculty members and graduate students of the Anthropology Department.

None

Financial assistance in the form of research and teaching assistantships is available to qualified students. Information on awards can be obtained from the Department office or in the Awards and Financial Assistance section of this calendar. All students are strongly encouraged to seek external financial assistance for the program, as the Department of Anthropology cannot guarantee the availability of financial assistance.

Students applying for the Open Scholarship Competition must submit their applications to the Department by February 1.

A complete description of the rules and regulations, and the facilities available to Anthropology graduate students, is available in an information brochure from the Department.
