Admissions

Entry Requirements

The normal admission requirement is a Bachelor of Arts Honours degree in anthropology with at least a 3.0 (B) average. However, funding for the program is competitive, and a student with a cumulative GPA of less than A- (3.7) is unlikely to be funded. Eligibility for funding is a consideration for admissions into the program.
Students are expected to have a strong undergraduate background in the subdiscipline that they intend to conduct graduate research. Promising students without an anthropology Honours degree or without adequate subdisciplinary background may be admitted for a qualifying or probationary period (usually two semesters). Students should consult the regulations of the UNB School of Graduate Studies (SGS) and with the anthropology Director of Graduate Studies (DoGS) for more information on a qualifying period. It is the responsibility of the student to fund a qualifying year. Qualifying year students should be aware that they may be ineligible for federal and provincial student loan programs. Completion of a qualifying period does not mean automatic acceptance into the graduate program. Acceptance is conditional upon successful completion of the required Honours seminars, maintaining a cumulative GPA of 3.0 (B) or better, and the agreement of the student's prospective graduate supervisor(s).
