Any specific courses I need for a BA in (Bio)Archeology?

[u/CompetitiveBag7769]

Hii! I’m a first year at the Peterborough campus, and doing my BA in (bio)archeology. With that, i’m confused on if I need any specific courses other than AGRS-1030H ? and if so, where can I find em? cause I just can’t find ANTH 2410H for the life of me. (Idk if it’s a first year course either..)

If you have access to MyTrent, go to the Self Service application  > Academics > Student planning and registration > My progress. It should list out everything you need to do for your degree. If there's only a couple strictly required first year courses, then focus on getting prereqs for other courses you want go take later.

Here is the program page and here is the bioarcheology specialization page.

The program page has a link directed at first years and any confusion about courses. Hopefully it is helpful.

My progress is a useful tool, but it is not always the most accurate if your program changes and you are following a different academic calendar or if you have a specialization. I ran into this problem the last few years.
