BSc in Primatology
The basic course work requirements for the BSc in Primatology consist of seven full-course equivalents in Anthropology distributed as follows:
(a) Anthropology 201 and 311.
(b) Archaeology 203.
(c) One full-course equivalent selected from: Anthropology 353, 404, 413, 435, 451, 457, 505, 552, 553, Archaeology 305, 453, 493, 555, 595, Statistics 333.
(d) Such additional Anthropology courses as are needed to complete a minimum of seven full-course equivalents in Anthropology.
For the purposes of this program, Archaeology 305, 493, 507, 555, and 595 are accepted by the Department as Anthropology courses. Students should ensure they have the appropriate prerequisites for non-Department courses.
BSc Honours in Primatology
Honours programs in Anthropology offer senior students the opportunity to participate in more inquiry-based studies than those undertaken by Majors. Entrance occurs after completion of 14 full-course equivalents. Entrance and continuation in an Honours program is contingent upon the maintenance of at least a 3.30 cumulative GPA. At the time of admission students must present (1) a GPA of at least 3.30 over the most recent course work to a maximum of 10 full course equivalents, and (2) a GPA of at least 3.30 calculated for all Social Sciences courses included in 1 above (both GPAs will be calculated using University of Calgary courses and courses taken at other institutions). Once admitted, yearly reviews will require a GPA of 3.30 over all courses completed since the last review, and a GPA of 3.30 in all Social Sciences courses completed since the last review.
Normally, the program will consist of the Major program as above, plus Anthropology 571 Honours Seminar in Primatology and the addition of options to complete a minimum of eight and a maximum of 12-full-course equivalents in Anthropology which will be selected in consultation with the Department.
