Students studying archaeology acquire skills to analyze historical sites, landscapes, and artifacts to draw conclusions about ancient civilizations. Those pursuing an archaeology degree cultivate research abilities that help them explore questions, assess evidence, and deduce patterns of past human activity and social structures.
The Bachelor of Arts in Archaeology offers interdisciplinary education in fieldwork techniques (including surveying, excavating, recording, and interpreting historical sites and landscapes), theoretical frameworks, legal considerations, and ethical practices. A key component involves participating in an archaeological field school or public archaeology internship, giving students practical training in excavation and lab techniques that equip them for professional opportunities.
