The Archaeology Interdepartmental Program offers a comprehensive, fouryear 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.
