Administrative Information for Faculty
The
minor is administered through two entities:
the Steering Committee and the Program Director.
The Steering Committee consists of 2 members
each from the departments of Geology, Anthropology, and the Program in
Classics; and at least 1 member each from all other departments or
programs
contributing to the program's curriculum.
Its functions consist of:
1.
reviewing
and approving courses to be counted towards to the minor
2.
reviewing
and modifying the structure of the minor
3.
advising
the Program Director in regards to counting outside field
experience as fulfillment of minor requirements
Upon
recommendation by the Steering Committee, the Program Director is
appointed by
the Dean for a term of 3 years, and has the following responsibilities:
1.
developing
and submitting an annual report
2.
coordinating
the advising of minors
3.
chairing
meetings of the Steering Committee
4.
coordinating
the advertising and publicizing of the minor
5.
collecting
course proposals for review
6.
granting
course exemptions
7.
overseeing
library purchases and budget
8.
ensuring
frequency of adequate course offerings
9.
promoting
undergraduate research experiences in archaeology
10.
serving as
a point of contact to the community
Advising (top)
To
ensure the retention of minors, advisors appropriate to an individual
student's
interest are appointed. For example, if an anthropology major
declares an
archaeology minor, every effort is taken so that they are be paired
with a
member of the Anthropology Program best suited to coordinate their
study.
Students wishing to minor in Archaeology with majors outside of a
related field
are directly advised by the Program Director.
A declaration form for the minor can be found here.
Information
for Faculty (top)
Do
you
teach a course that should be added to the minor? Have
an idea for a new course that might be
added to the minor? New courses are
added to the list upon approval by the Steering Committee, which meets
once in
the fall, once in the spring, and at other times as necessary. In certain circumstances, the Director
can accept additional courses on a case-by-case basis.
The established criterion is that the
discussion or use of archaeological material should comprise 1/3 of the
course
materials, which is the established campus-wide content standard for
interdisciplinary programs. A form for
this purpose (in .pdf format) can be found here. If you have any
questions regarding the Archaeology minor, participating in it
or whether your class counts towards the minor please contact
the Director, Erin Beutel (beutele@cofc.edu).
