Notes:

• 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 a letter of permission from the Faculty of Arts through their Student Centre prior to attending a field school run by another university.
