The Master of Arts in Applied Archaeology (MAAA) is a career-focused program that equips students for roles in the cultural resource management (CRM) field or advanced doctoral studies with CRM specialization. This curriculum offers comprehensive training in anthropological archaeology, emphasizing both theoretical foundations and hands-on fieldwork and lab techniques. Learners then apply this knowledge in real-world scenarios through coursework covering CRM policies, methodologies, and implementation, including collaborative projects with State, Federal, and Tribal organizations. Graduates emerge with a dual perspective on academic and professional archaeology, understanding how these approaches synergize within the field.
