CLASSICAL ARCHEOLOGY

Prerequisite Coursework
Prerequisite Coursework: None.

There is no prerequisite coursework for the major, but students are encouraged to take lower level introductory courses in some of the related disciplines. Such courses serve as background for the major and may meet prerequisites for more advanced courses in the major. Students are encouraged to begin study in a relevant area language and to take any culture and history courses that relate to Asia.

Note: State-wide common prerequisites are always under review. For the most current information and for acceptable alternative courses, visit the “Common Prerequisites Manual.” This is available from the “Student Services” section of .

Requirements for Progression to the Upper-Division Major
Students must complete at least 52 hours of credit with a minimum FSU GPA of 2.00 and most of the General Education requirements met, including freshman English composition and mathematics, or an A.A. Degree.

Requirements

Major Program of Studies at FSU: 36 hours
Students majoring in the program are to construct their study program around three components, in consultation with an advisor. The components are:

1) Area-Specific Courses (24 hours)
Students select a minimum of 24 hours from the approved list of area-specific courses.

2) Comparative Concepts and Theories (6 hours)
Students select a minimum of 6 hours from the approved list of concepts and theories courses. These should be selected in consultation with their advisor.

3) Additional Asian Studies courses (6 hours)
Students select six (6) additional hours in consultation with their advisor from the approved “Area Specific” and “Comparative Concept and Theory” lists.

Students may view the approved lists in the FSU Undergraduate General Bulletin.

Foreign Language Requirement:0-12 hours
In addition to the 36 hours in the major, a relevant foreign language through the intermediate (2000) level is required (Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, or other approved language). Students will be encouraged to bring their chosen language up to an effective level of proficiency in both reading and speaking by either taking additional coursework on the FSU campus or by participating in a semester or summer abroad program in their relevant cultural area as such programs become available. To encourage the achievement of language proficiency, language coursework hours taken beyond the intermediate level foreign language requirement may be counted towards the required 36 hours for the major.

Computer Skills Competency: 3 hours. CGS 2060 (3) or CGS 2100 (3).

Oral Communication Competency: 3 hours
Students must demonstrate the ability to orally transmit ideas and information clearly. This requirement may be met with an approved college-level course.
