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 4.4.8).

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 courses 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.
