Master of Arts (MA), thesis-based

Students in the Departments of Archaeology and Anthropology and the Faculty of Medicine may choose an interdisciplinary specialization in Biological Anthropology. For further information on the Biological Anthropology (Interdisciplinary) specialization, see the separate listing in this Calendar.

In addition to Faculty requirements, the Department requires:

(a)A specimen of relevant written work (an honours essay, term paper, seminar essay bearing the grade and initials of the supervising professor), the analysis chapter of a Master of Arts thesis or a published article where the applicant is the sole or senior author

(b)A concise statement setting forth the reasons for wishing to pursue graduate work in this department

(c)An up-to-date curriculum vitae

(d)A 3.3 grade point average in the last two years of program or over the last ten full course equivalents

The deadline for the submission of complete applications is 15 January for September admission.

The Department does not normally give advanced credit.

In addition to the Faculty requirements, the Department requires:

Master of Arts

(a)Normally, three full-course equivalents including Archaeology 601 and one of the following, as determined by the student's evaluation committee: Archaeology 615 or Archaeology 617 or a course in human osteology

(b)A season of fieldwork or the equivalent

Doctor of Philosophy

(a)Normally, four full-course equivalents in Archaeology

(b)For those without a Master of Arts degree, normally five full-course equivalents

Note: The number of courses required of each student may vary according to each student's particular needs as determined by the supervisory committee. Unless previously satisfied, ARKY 601 and two of the following: ARKY 615 or ARKY 617 or a course in human osteology will be required as determined by the student's evaluation committee.

(c)Normally, the writing of one research paper of publishable quality, as judged by the supervisory committee

(d)A research proposal approved by a committee consisting minimally of three members of his or her supervisory committee, and by the Graduate Coordinator. This must be submitted within twenty months of entering the program.

(e)A reading ability in a foreign language acceptable to the Department. The student's supervisory committee will decide the manner of demonstrating this ability.

(f)Normally, proficiency in statistics, acceptable to the Department. The student's supervisory committee will decide the manner of demonstrating this ability.

Requirements (a) through (f) must be completed before sitting the oral candidacy examination.

(g)Normally, two seasons of fieldwork. However, students specializing in laboratory-based topics like physical anthropology, may substitute an approved program of laboratory work for one of the fieldwork seasons.

During the first two weeks in program, each student will undergo an evaluation. This is not an examination but an assessment of academic background. The specific regulations and procedures covering evaluations and examinations are on file in the Department Office and are available to students. It is the responsibility of every student to become familiar with these regulations.

Fieldwork may be counted towards fulfilment of the full-time study and research requirement.

Normally only courses at the 500-level or higher may be taken for credit toward a graduate program.

Expected completion time is two years for the Master of Arts degree and four years for the Doctor of Philosophy degree. Maximum completion time is four years for the Master of Arts degree and six years for the doctoral degree.

The Department assigns an interim advisor to each student upon arrival. At any time before the end of the first year of studies, each student must select a faculty member to serve as supervisor. The interim advisor may become the supervisor.

Doctoral supervisory committees may be appointed at any time during the first year of studies, but no later than three months after the appointment of the supervisor. The supervisor, in consultation with the student, selects the committee.

Final thesis oral examinations are closed.

Within twenty months of entering the program, the student, with the supervisor's advice, develops a thesis research proposal. This is then transmitted to the student's supervisory committee for agreement and to the Graduate Coordinator for approval and placed on file.

None

Financial assistance in the form of research and teaching assistantships may be available to qualified students. For information on awards, see the Awards and Financial Assistance section of this calendar.

Students applying for scholarships must submit their applications to the Department by January 15th.

The Department has laboratories equipped for anthropometric and osteological analysis, faunal analysis, and microbotanical and geoarchaeological research. A number of teaching and comparative archaeological and zooarchaeological collections are maintained. Field equipment including survey, photographic and camping equipment is available.
