Diploma in Ancient Worlds

About this programme

If you are interested in learning more about the culture, customs, and history of the Ancient World (pre-dating the Middle Ages), then this new diploma program is for you! People who have never taken a university course, or have not done so at Memorial University, will have the opportunity to begin with entry-level study of courses in Archaeology, Classics, History, Religious Studies, and Philosophy before proceeding to more advanced study. The program also includes field school courses to be chosen from two field schools offered by the Department of Archaeology. The reasonably short duration (27 credits) of the Diploma will provide students with an achievable goal that can be the foundation for entry into a Bachelor of Arts program; will better prepare some students for graduate school; may coincide with an existing undergraduate student’s program of study; or may be a supplement for university alumni and lifelong learners. As part of the Diploma in Ancient Worlds, students must complete courses up to and including the 3000 level and may take courses at the 4000 level. Note : Not all courses are offered every semester. Students are strongly advised to consult with the program coordinator for assistance with course planning, and to generally follow Table 2 Suggested Course Sequencing for the Diploma in Ancient Worlds. Students wishing to declare a Diploma in Ancient Worlds are encouraged to consult with the program coordinator to discuss the requirements of the program.
