We are one of only a few stand-alone archaeology departments in the nation and are unusual in that we grant a BA in archaeology, rather than classical studies or history. The archaeology major concentrates on the ancient Mediterranean, Near East, and Western Europe. The interdisciplinary nature of the major provides the necessary preparation to attend graduate school or go directly into the workforce. In addition, students are able to pursue a double major and minor in other areas of study such as anthropology, history, foreign languages, chemistry, and business.
