Entry requirements

First-year students are those who have not enrolled in any college course work after completing their high school or secondary schooling. 

First-year applicants must complete secondary school and earn an appropriate secondary certification or pass an appropriate external exam. Grades should be above average and course selection must include preparatory study in humanities, mathematics, natural sciences, and social sciences.

Students who are completing an International High School Completion (IHSC) program and earning an associate degree in Washington state (including Associate in Arts DTA, Associate in Arts and Sciences DTA, Associate in Science – Transfer or MRP transfer degrees) should apply as transfer students and submit their official community college transcripts. IHSC applicants who are not completing their associate degree will be required to submit all secondary school transcripts with certified English translations if necessary.

English requirements

With the exception of students whose primary and secondary education took place in Australia, Canada (English Provinces), Great Britain, Ireland, New Zealand or the U.S., applicants must demonstrate English proficiency. This is generally demonstrated by a minimum score on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) of 80 (iBT) or 550 (paper-based), or a minimum IELTS score of 6.5. Students who are earning a transferable associate's degree from a Washington State community college and have "B" or better grades in two English composition courses are NOT required to submit TOEFL or IELTS scores. TOEFL scores must be sent directly from the Educational Testing Service and must be postmarked by the priority application deadline. Photocopies of TOEFL score reports cannot be accepted.

By exception, the English language proficiency requirement can be waived for applicants educated in other countries if the applicant's primary and secondary education language of instruction was in English. Such exceptions require an official letter from the school of instruction.

Students whose English language proficiency does not yet meet minimum requirements may be considered for Conditional Admission, a program that allows students to be fully admitted to the university upon successfully completing at least one quarter of the Intensive English Program.

Thông tin khóa học

Do you find human diversity and various cultures fascinating? If so, you may wish to consider a major in Anthropology, the scientific study of humankind in all the cultures of the world, past and present. Studies focus on human physical development, cultural behavior, adaptation to different environments, and creative expressions of meaning and belonging. Working in partnerships with communities and peoples worldwide, anthropologists help address contemporary human problems, highlighting evidence that points to both past and potential solutions.

Western's Anthropology curriculum reflects a strong commitment to a cross-cultural, comparative perspective. Students work with and take courses from faculty members who are nationally and internationally recognized researchers of Latin America, North America, Asia, The Pacific, and Eastern Europe, and who are dedicated to excellence in teaching.

The Anthropology Department provides training in four sub-disciplines: 

  • Cultural Anthropology
  • Archaeology
  • Physical Anthropology
  • Anthropological Linguistics
