Undergraduate Major in Archaeology


The Center for Archaeology is an interdepartmental center that does not have its own individual course listings or degree program. The links here provide information about the undergraduate program in archaeology and the graduate programs in which students conduct archaeological research. We have different programs of study to suit a variety of interests; all options share the same introductory requirements, but allow you to develop your studies in a range of different direction.

This option allows students to take courses from across the University, including classes in anthropology, architecture, art history & archaeology, classics, earth & environmental sciences, EALAC, ecology, evolution & environmental biology (E3B), history, and MEALAC.

Major in Anthropological Archaeology

If you have a particular interest in anthropology, then the Archaeological Anthropology Major may be for you.
