Study Abroad


Students sometimes have the opportunity to study archaeology while spending a semester away from Barnard/Columbia. In a few cases, our students have also participated in programs which satisfy the fieldwork requirements for the archaeology major.

Recommended Programs

The Amheida Project, Dakhleh Oasis, Egypt.
Run by New York University.
A 16-credit program running from January through March each year. For advanced undergraduates. Students participate in excavations at Amheida (ancient Trimithis), study the culture of Pharaonic, Graeco-Roman, and Christian Egypt, travel through Egypt's oases and the Nile Valley, and take informal lessons in colloquial Arabic.
