Students must adhere to the applicable Faculty of Arts requirements in 3.4 Graduation.

B. MAJOR-FIELD WITH HONOURS REQUIREMENTS

BSc Students must choose their archaeology and option courses to include at least 8.0 full-course equivalents from the list of “Natural Sciences Courses for the BSc Archaeology” (see above). BA and BSc students alike must successfully complete a minimum of 8.0 and a maximum of 12.0 full-course equivalents in the Field of Archaeology while fulfilling the following requirements:

1. Core: 2.0 full-course equivalents from Archaeology 201, 203, 451, 505.

2. Regional Archaeology: 1.5 full-course equivalents from: Archaeology 303, 317, 321, 335, 341, 343, 351, 353, 357, 395, 401, 423, 437, 439, 455, 521, 537, 553.

3. Archaeological Techniques: 1.0 full-course equivalent from: Archaeology 306*, 413, 415, 417, 453, 471, 515, 533, 555
*Archaeology 306 counts as 0.5 full-course equivalent for this requirement.

4. Traditional Knowledge: 1.0 full-course equivalent from Archaeology 307, 345, 355, 357, 399, 411, 419.

5. Honours Thesis: Archaeology 596 or 598.

6. Archaeology Options: At least 1.5 full-course equivalents from the Field of Archaeology.

C. OTHER REQUIREMENTS

1. Geology/Geography Requirement: 1.0 full-course equivalent consisting of either (a) Geology 201 and 202; or (b) Geography 211 and 307.

2. Language/Computer Science Requirement: 1.0 full-course equivalent consisting of: (a) Linguistics 201 and 353; (b) Computer Science 203 and 231 (or equivalents); (c) 1.0 full-course equivalent in a language other than English.

3. Statistics Requirement: 0.5 full-course equivalent from: (a) Geography 339, 439; Psychology 312; Sociology 311, 315; Statistics 213, 217.

D. DEGREE OPTIONS

  • The BA or BSc Honours in Archaeology can be taken with Co-operative Education. See section 3.4.5 Co-operative Education Programs for information and requirements.
  • The BA or BSc Honours in Archaeology can be taken with a Concentration in Physical Anthropology (see Section 4.5.3).

Notes:

  • Students may use Anthropology 317, 319, 321, 329, 355 and/or 405 toward requirement B.4 Traditional Knowledge. Since these courses do not count toward the minimum of 7.0 full-course equivalents from the field of Archaeology, the minimum number of full-course equivalents required to satisfy item B.6 Archaeology Options expands accordingly.
  • The Statistics requirement can also be fulfilled by demonstrating proficiency through examination by the Department.
  • A foreign language is recommended for Honours students, especially those considering graduate work in Archaeology.
  • Successful completion of the Honours program provides a good foundation for graduate work in Archaeology, but does not automatically ensure admission to the graduate program.
  • It is strongly recommended that Honours students take the field school courses, Archaeology 306 and Archaeology 506, or other department-approved field-school courses. Students must obtain approval from the Faculty of Arts prior to attending a field school run by another university.
