An Honors concentration in any of the tracks requires the successful completion of all the standard requirements with the addition of an Honors thesis. For the preparation of this thesis, students must enroll in ARCH 1970 during the first semester of the senior year and ARCH 1990 during the second semester of the senior year (these courses may not be taken S/NC, nor may they be used to satisfy the standard requirements of the concentration). In order to qualify for honors, students must take a total of 12 courses in the concentration and must have received more A's than B's in the concentration courses completed. Honors concentrations are especially recommended for students considering graduate work in the discipline of archaeology. Any student interested in a course of graduate study should speak to the undergraduate Concentration Advisor as soon as possible, not least for advice about additional forms of preparation. Graduate work in the archaeology of the ancient world, for example, requires knowledge of appropriate ancient, as well as modern, languages. Students should start work on acquiring these skills as early as possible.
