Master of Arts in Archaeology

Through archaeological research, anthropology gives us a unique view of human history, much longer and richer than possible from the study of written documents alone. Such research has shed light on lifeways and cultures from the origins of our species to the recent past a span of more than two million years. Archaeological discoveries not only have scientific value, but also generate tremendous public interest, and can serve as key components in promoting heritage tourism and an appreciation for cultural heritage in North Carolina and other parts of the world. The Archaeology Program will provide training for students interested in this long view of human history. For undergraduates, it culminates in a liberal arts degree that prepares students for graduate training in archaeology, or for a career in any field that requires skills in analytical thinking, writing, and teamwork. For graduate students, it provides doctoral training that leads to jobs in universities, museums, and cultural resource management.
