The BSc Honours in Archaeology can be taken with Co-operative Education. See section 3.4.4 Co-operative Education Programs for information and requirements.

Notes:

  • A language other than English 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 506, or other department-approved field-school courses. Students must obtain a letter of permission from the Faculty of Arts through their Student Centre prior to attending a field school run by another university.
