What Can You Do With A Degree In Anthropology?
We're sure your parents are asking you that question right now. You could
sing them 
an answer.
More seriously, students who graduate with a BA Degree in anthropology from York University have gone on to a wide variety of professions.
Anthropology can provide a
set of critical skills for a variety of jobs where
adaptability and
flexibility are increasingly demanded to succeed in the workplace.
A number of our students go on to postgraduate (MA, PhD) studies, but most go on to quite different careers in which they find their anthropological knowledge and skills to be great assets. Some of these careers may include:
- Being a teacher
- Being an effective advocate for social change
- Working with International Aid Organizations
- Health & Wellness
- Working in the Arts Sector
- Working in the Heritage & Tourism Sector
- Making a Movie
- Writing a Novel
