Our certificate options can be pursued as a standalone degree or an add-on to your current studies. Strengthen your existing anthropology training or add an anthropological flavour to your degree from other York programs. Learn more about our certificates below.
Certificate in Advocacy & Public Engagement
Public Anthropology affirms the role of students and scholars as active citizens, community leaders, and partners in empowerment. This program encourages student activism by offering a critical, cross-cultural perspective on major public issues, and demonstrates how to effect change by drawing on political forces outside the discipline.
Certificate in Culture, Medicine & Health
Medical Anthropology provides an anthropological perspective on health and illness processes and the socio-cultural factors shaping the experience of illness, patterns of health and disease, and access to health care services. Medical anthropology uniquely studies both cross-cultural and biomedical systems of healing.
