The Archaeology Interdepartmental Program offers a comprehensive, four-year curriculum covering anthropological archaeology,
classical archaeology and related subjects. The core of the program is offered through the departments of Anthropology and
Classics & Ancient History. Students have a choice of Minor, Major, Double Major, Honours or Joint Honours study, with emphasis in
either an Anthropological Archaeology stream or a Classical Archaeology stream. The first two years of the program are comprised
of required courses, which provide foundational overviews of the discipline of Archaeology. While the upper-level program structure
allows students to specialize in one of the two streams (Anthropological or Classical), students are required to take upper-level
courses from both streams.
