The UCLA Interdepartmental Archaeology Graduate Program (AP) integrates archaeological faculty throughout the university for the training of graduate students who wish to pursue interdisciplinary research. Since the inception of the program, we have awarded over 100 M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in Archaeology. The mission of the Archaeology Program is to train students in the best interdisciplinary practices and techniques of archaeological investigation. At the same time, we provide students with a strong background in archaeological interpretation and theory that will enable them to undertake independent research, explanation, and preservation of archaeological heritage worldwide.
Applicants are expected to hold a UCLA master's degree in Archaeology. Doctoral students entering the program with a master's degree from another university are required to pass the comprehensive core seminars and examinations and to demonstrate the ability to read at least one foreign language relevant to the area of interest and approved by the student's adviser. This requirement may be met by taking a reading examination administered by the program.
