The Department of Archaeology in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences provides training in Archaeology offering a wide range of interests, including Prehistoric and Historic Archaeology, Cultural Resource Management, Museum Studies and Physical Anthropology. Considerable emphasis is placed on fieldwork, archaeological research, and theory and methods.
Archaeology offers various programs leading to the Bachelor of Arts degree. Students must meet requirements for the BA degree as described in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences section in the SFU Calendar, should take courses in a number of complementary disciplines, and are urged to seek advice from the department early in their university careers with regard to the structuring of their individual programs.
The Archaeology Honours program is research oriented, requiring coursework beyond the Archaeology Major, and leads to an Honours Thesis.
Students may undertake Joint Major programs in Archaeology and Anthropology, Archaeology and First Nations Studies, or Archaeology and Latin American Studies. Students should plan joint programs in consultation with advisors from both departments.
