Notes:
- The Statistics requirement can also be fulfilled by demonstrating proficiency through examination by the Department.
- 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 Archaeology 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.
