D. DEGREE OPTIONS
- The BA or BSc Honours in Archaeology can be taken with Co-operative Education. See section 3.4.5 Co-operative Education Programs for information and requirements.
- The BA or BSc Honours in Archaeology can be taken with a Concentration in Physical Anthropology (see Section 4.5.3).
Notes:
- Students may use Anthropology 317, 319, 321, 329, 355 and/or 405 toward requirement B.4 Traditional Knowledge. Since these courses do not count toward the minimum of 7.0 full-course equivalents from the field of Archaeology, the minimum number of full-course equivalents required to satisfy item B.6 Archaeology Options expands accordingly.
- 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.
