A.FACULTY OF ARTS REQUIREMENTS
Students must adhere to the applicable Faculty of Arts requirements in 3.4 Graduation.
B.MAJOR-FIELD WITH HONOURS REQUIREMENTS
As part of their program, students normally take a mix of courses with a “Social-Sciences Emphasis” (List A) and a “Natural-Sciences Emphasis” (List B). Students wishing to graduate with a BSc rather than a BA are required to take a minimum of 8.0 full-course equivalents with a “Natural-Sciences Emphasis.” Anything less than 8.0 full-course equivalents with a “Natural-Sciences Emphasis” automatically defaults to a BA degree.
Students must successfully complete a minimum of 8.0 and a maximum of 12.0 full-course equivalents in the Field of Archaeology while fulfilling the following requirements:
1.Core: Archaeology 201, 203, 451, 501, 505.
2.Regional Archaeology: 1.5 full-course equivalent from: Archaeology 303, 341, 343, 351, 353, 357, 395, 401, 409, 421, 423, 427, 431, 433, 435, 437, 439, 441, 507, 537, 553.
3.Archaeological Techniques: 1.0 full-course equivalents with:
(a) At least 0.5 full-course equivalents from: Archaeology 415, 417, 471, 555;
AND
(b) Any remainder from: Archaeology 306, 413, 453, 517,533, 595.
4.Honours Thesis: Archaeology 596 or 598.
5.Archaeology Options: 2.0 full-course equivalents from courses in the Field of Archaeology.

D.DEGREE OPTIONS
- The BA or BSc Honours in Archaeology can be taken with Cooperative 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 4.5.4).
Notes:
- Archaeology courses used toward the ethnography requirement also count as Archaeology options.
- Some science courses, for example from the Faculty of Science, may be approved to supplement the archaeology courses with a “Natural-Sciences Emphasis” (List B); please consult with the Undergraduate Director for guidance on this issue.
- 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.
