UofC " This Is Now

Students wishing to emphasize the Social Sciences and Humanities in their program should register for the BA degree; those who wish to emphasize the Natural and Biological Sciences should register for the BSc degree. The student is advised to be familiar with the structure and content of programs. As part of their program, students normally take a mix of courses from List A and List B. Students wishing to graduate with a BSc instead of a BA are required to take a minimum of 8 full-course equivalents from List B. Science courses from, for example, the Faculty of Science, may be used to supplement archaeology courses in List B; please consult with the Undergraduate Advisor for guidance on this issue. Anything less than 8 full-course equivalents from List B automatically defaults to a BA degree.

LIST A:
Archaeology 205, 303, 305, 307, 325, 341, 343, 345, 347, 351, 353, 355, 357, 395, 399, 401, 409, 419, 421, 423, 427, 431, 433, 439, 441, 443, 451, 455, 501, 503, 505, 511, 531, 537, 553, 591, 593, 597, 598.

LIST B:
Archaeology 201, 203, 306, 413, 415, 417, 437, 453, 471, 506, 507, 517, 533, 555, 589, 595, 596.
