Re:

Curriculum

Items for Review and Approval

At a Departmental Retreat on Oct 29,2010 and at a fo

of Archaeology

faculty members

appro

v

ed a series of changes to the

undergraduate

curriculum

to facilitate course

deli

v

ery with

reduced

faculty complement and e

x

pertise, and to

more

tightly

and

structure

our undergraduate programs.

These changes were submitted

to the

Faculty

Committee

and

approved

with minor revisions at

their

meeting of

April 19,2011. We accordingly submit the

revised

program for submission and consideration of

Senate. Course additions, deletions and

changes

should be dealt with initially as program

changes are dependent.

Elimination

of the writing intensive class, ARCH 330W-3 will have little or no impact for

Archaeology students since ARCH 471 W-5

is a required core course for all Archaeology majors,

joint majors and honors students. Deletions

of ARCH 302-3, ARCH 311-5, ARCH 334-3,

ARCH 336-3 and ARCH 360-5 are the result of faculty losses and shifting expertise in the

department. Because

of reduced faculty complement, we no longer are able to offer on a two

year cycle ARCH 330W-3, ARCH 338-3, ARCH 370-3 and ARCH 379-3. These courses are

being deleted but will be taught on less regular occasion under the newly proposed courses,

ARCH 321-3 and ARCH 331-3. We acknowledge the deletion

of nine courses as a limitation to

program diversity and student electives. We emphasize, nevertheless, that our move to the

Faculty

of Environment opens up new opportunities for future course development and cross

listings to expand, focus and enhance our undergraduate curricula in the future.

Program Changes:

The Undergraduate Curriculum Committee was charged with the task of redesigning the

undergraduate program to bring it in line with faculty member expertise, to reorganize course

groups in a way meaningful to our new home in the Faculty of the Environment and to change

core course or other requirements to facilitate student progress, eliminate potential bottle necks

and provide balance in scheduling

of electives across groups. We have made changes in four

areas relative to Calendar Headings.

Recommended Courses: A small number of additional courses are being recommended for

Archaeology majors for reasons given in the calendar entry.

Upper Division ARCH Course Groups: This represents a reshuffling of existing courses into

four groups to better reflect course associations and

fayilitate future course scheduling. As well,

two Group 1 core courses have been moved to eliminate potential bottlenecks.

---

Major Program:

Lower division requirements of 12 units are increased to a minimum of 18

units. The additional units are to be taken from 100/200 level electives in Biology,

Environmental Science, First Nations Studies, Geography, Resource and Environmental

Management and Sociology/Anthropology. The electives provide students going into the major

with relevant breadth outside

of Archaeology. The increase in lower division unit requirements

brings Archaeology into line with many other departments on campus.

Upper Division

Requirements

of 30 Units is increased to 32 Units. Core course requirements are reduced to two

courses, with other requirements being electives drawn from each

of the newly organized groups.

The new requirements provide students with slightly enhanced opportunities to select electives

they may be interested in while acquiring a broadly structured undergraduate learning

experience.

Miscellaneous Changes:

Housekeeping changes occasioned by the deletion of courses or other

program changes were required for the Honors Program as well as Joint Majors with First

Nations Studies, Latin American Studies, and Anthropology. Each

of the Joint Major

departments has been informed.

Pending approval from Senate, changes will be effective spring semester 2012. Scheduling of

courses and student advisement on program requirements will be accordingly carried out
