Notes

  • Students are strongly advised to plan course selection carefully in order to acquire needed prerequisites and to prepare for graduate school or careers in different specialities.
  • Students are required to gain relevant archaeological field and/or laboratory experience. They are encouraged to take one of two existing field courses, ANTH 3000Y or AHCL 3850Y, which are normally offered in the summer. Those who are unable to take one of these courses may substitute ANTH 3150Y, which is normally offered during the regular school year. Alternatively, students may register in a field school or lab methods course at another university by obtaining a Letter of Permission from the Office of the Registrar prior to registering in the course. See Letters of Permission for additional details.
  • Students already who have extensive field and/or laboratory experience (such as from previous archaeological employment) should consult with the program coordinator, who may consider waiving the degree requirement for a field or lab course. At a minimum, students would normally have to have the equivalent of four weeks of full time work in the field and/or lab (i.e., 160 hours total). If such a waiver is approved, the student will need to substitute an additional course, with the coordinator's approval, in order to meet the total number of required courses.
  • Courses fulfilling University science course requirements for the B.Sc. are marked (Sc.) in the individual course descriptions.
  • There are no options for completion of a joint-major or a minor in Archaeology.
