Archaeology Program

Archaeology and Culture Minor

The minor in Archaeology and Culture is intentionally interdisciplinary. The minor is structured to complement the "Core of Discovery." Study abroad is integral to the minor and is structurally ensured, as are exposure to multi-cultural values, a science and technology application and textual analysis. Completion of 18 credits is required to satisfy the requirements of the Minor. In consultation with the program coordinator, the student will develop a Minor focused either on Track 1 or on Track 2 Cognate.
