Interested in Archaeology, but don’t want to commit to the major?

A minor in archaeology is a great complement to a range of disciplines, such as History, EEEB, Earth and Environmental Studies, Classics, and Women, Gender & Sexuality Studies, to name just a few. With an interdepartmental minor in Archaeology, you can choose your focus by assembling classes from different departments to fit your particular interests.
The minor consists of five courses in total (for a range of 16-19 credits). There are no prerequisites. Requirements for the minor are:

• Across the 5 courses required for the minor, students must take courses in at least two different departments.
• Students minoring in archaeology are required to take the introductory method and theory course:
  • ACLG2028 Think like an Archaeologist
• Students are also required to take one of the other introductory courses:
  • ANTH1007 The Origins of Human Society
  • ANTH1008 The Rise of Civilization
• Students can select three other archaeology courses, in consultation with the DUS, with the recommendation that one of the courses be a 3000-level course or higher.
