BA in Archaeology

University of Cincinnati

Archaeology students learn how to examine archaeological sites, landscapes, and material culture to make inferences about people in the past. Archaeology majors develop research skills that enable them to investigate problems, analyze and evaluate data, and infer aspects of ancient human behavior and modes of organization. The Archaeology BA program provides students with interdisciplinary training in archaeological methods (for example, how to survey, excavate, document, and interpret archaeological sites and past landscapes), theoretical approaches, laws, and ethics. A core requirement of this program is the completion of an archaeological field school or public archaeological internship where students gain valuable hands-on experience with field and laboratory methods that prepare them for future careers.
