?

Change in Requirements: 

From 

"Students who plan to 

Requirements major in Archaeology must fulfil the following 

for Majors ? 

course requirements: MAJORS must take ARC, 272, 

and Minors 

?

273, and at least 30 credits in Archaeology at 

the 300 and 400 division in the upper levels, 

and MINORS must take ARC. 272, 273, and at least 

15 credits in Archaeology at the 300 and 400 

division in the upper levels." 

to "Students who plan to major or minor in 

(I)

Archaeology must fulfil the following course 

requirements: MAJORS must take ARC. 101, 131, 

and at least 30 credits in Archaeology at the 

300 and 400 division, 

• ? 

S ?

and

MINORS must take ARC. 101, 131, ana at least 

15 credits in Archaeology at the 300 and 400 

division ." 

Rationale: 

The distinction between upper and lower levels 

has been eliminated, therefore students can 

take courses at any time during their program. 

ARC. 272-3 and 273-3 were the only lower division 

courses in existence when the Archaeology 

program was first created and so they became 

the pre-requisites for all upper division 

courses in the department. However, they are 

primarily area study courses. Now the 

department has a 

g

eneral introductory course 

and course whose primary concern is Human 

Origin. They are more appropriate as pre- 

requisites for all courses as they give the 

student the foundation of general knowledge 

upon which the more specialized courses are 

built. These changes are not related to the 

change in Arts regulations, but to specific 

concerns of the department as it develops 

a more comprehensive program.

Course re- ? 

Change in Requirement: From "Archaeology majors 

quirements ? 

who wish admission to the honors program must 

for Honors ? 

hold a 3.0 average. 

?

The successful completion 

of the Honors Reading and Honors Esay Archaeology 

courses and ten credit hours in other courses 

approved in advance, over and above the requirements 

for a major, are also necessary. 

?

In addition, 

the successful, completion of either MATH 101, 

or CMPT 100 and 103, or PSYC 210; or a statistics 

course approved by the Department is required." 

to "Archaeology majors who wish admission to 

the honors ? 

program must 

?

hold 

a 3.0 cumulative grade 

point 

,

average and to remain in the program must 

maintain that average. 

?

The successful completion 

of the Honors Reading and Honors Essay Archaeology 

courses and 'Len credit hours in other curses 

approved in advance, over and above the 

requirements fora maor, are also necessari. 

In addition the following is required.: 

the successful completion of either 

ARC 376, or MATH 101, or CMPT 103 and 

105, or PSYC 210, or a statistics course 

approved by the department. 

Rationale: 

Archaeology 376 is a new course in 

quantitative methods; the change in 

Computing Science courses is in response 

to a change in the Computing Science 

curriculum.

OLOGY PRE-REQUISITES CHANGES 

.

.

The Department has added specific pre- 

requisites to a number of courses. In 

addition in keeping with the change of 

requirements for majors, the department 

has added ARC 101 or 131 to Course pre- 

requisites and deletedARC 272 or 273 

where applicable. 

1.

ARC. 272-3 Archaeology of the Old World 

From: No pre-requisites

therefore omitted the requirement.

Addition of Description 

FIELD SCHOOL 

"ARC. 433, 

134, 

435 and 436 are normally 

taken as a block in one semester as the 

archaeological field school. Students 

enrolling for these courses must seek 

counselling from the Archaeology Department 

before final registration." 

Deletion of Description 

ARC. 434-5 Techniques of Inquiry 

"These courses will be arranged for students 

enrolling for the archaeological field school, 

but may also be arranged for students 

engaged in technical inquiry at other times 

(Field School). 

Rationale: 

ARC. 433 and 434 are both Field School courses 

although this is not clear in the current 

calendar. The department feels that the 

explanation should precede the listing of 

the Field School courses and that ARC. 

433, 434, 435 and 436 should be brackted 

together.
