A. FACULTY OF ARTS REQUIREMENTS

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

B. MAJOR-FIELD WITH HONOURS REQUIREMENTS

As part of their program, students normally take a mix of courses with a “Social-Sciences Emphasis” (List A) and a “Natural-Sciences Emphasis” (List B). Students wishing to graduate with a BSc rather than a BA are required to take a minimum of 8.0 full-course equivalents with a “Natural-Sciences Emphasis” inclusive of Anthropology (ANTH) 311, 353, 413 and 552. Anything less than 8.0 full-course equivalents with a “Natural-Sciences Emphasis” automatically defaults to a BA degree.

Students must successfully complete a minimum of 8.0 and a maximum of 12.0 full-course equivalents in the Field of Archaeology and Physical Anthropology while fulfilling the following requirements:

1.Core: Archaeology 201, 203, 305, 451, 555.

3.Archaeological Techniques:

(a) 0.5 full-course equivalents from: Archaeology 415, 417, 471, 493, 595;

AND

(b) 0.5 full-course equivalents from: Archaeology 306, 413, 453, 517, 533; Anthropology 552.

4.Primatology: 0.5 full-course equivalents from Anthropology 311,413.

5.Honours Thesis: Archaeology 596 or 598.

2.Biology Requirement: Biology 231 (Biology 30 and Chemistry 30 are prerequisites for this course).

3.Geology/Geography Requirement: 1.0 full-course equivalents consisting of either (a) Geology 201 and 203; or (b) Geography 211 and 307.

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

D. DEGREE OPTIONS

The BA or BSc Honours in Archaeology can be taken with Cooperative Education.  See section 3.4.5 Co-operative Education Programs for information and requirements.

Notes:

  • Archaeology courses used toward the ethnography requirement also count as Archaeology options.
  • Some science courses, for example from the Faculty of Science, may be approved to supplement the archaeology courses with a “Natural-Sciences Emphasis” (List B); please consult with the Undergraduate Director for guidance on this issue.
  • 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.
