Archaeological Methods Certificate

The Certificate in Archaeological Methods provides applied training in archaeological field and laboratory methods for students who anticipate careers in cultural resource management, historic preservation, history, curation, museums, education, and other related fields.  Through hands-on field and laboratory work, students acquire the technical skills of archaeology, including survey, mapping, excavation, and artifact analysis and interpretation.  Students gain practical experience through participation in ongoing local archaeological investigations and an internship providing advanced technical skills.  This certificate is open to students from any major or institution, as well as members of the community.

This program is designed to be completed in conjunction with an undergraduate degree or as a stand-alone program for personal and/or professional enrichment only.  Students pursuing this as a stand-alone certificate will not qualify for Title IV federal financial aid.
