Archaeology - Cornell University

Archaeology from Cornell University is a Campus Bachelor Archeology degree that prepares you for a Science career. Prospective majors must complete Archaeology 100 or one of the basic courses as defined below before they will be admitted to the major. This initial course will not be counted toward the major requirements. Because the major draws on the teaching and research interests of faculty from many departments to present a broad view of the archaeological process, interested students should discuss their course of study with a participating faculty member as early as possible. In some areas of specialization, intensive language training should be coordinated with other studies as early as the freshman year. Once admitted to the major, students must take at least 32 additional credits from the Archaeology Courses of Study or from related fields, selected in consultation with a major adviser of their choosing. The courses chosen should provide exposure to a broad range of cultures known through archaeology and to the methods of uncovering and interpreting them. Sixteen of the credit hours should be at the 300 level or above. At least two courses must be taken from each of the following categories: II. Anthropological Archaeology; III. Classical, Near Eastern, and Medieval Archaeology; IV. Methodology and Technology. Only 4 credits of ARKEO 300 Individual Study or other supervised study can count toward the major. Courses basic to the discipline of archaeology are marked with the word "Basic" after the number of credit hours. It is recommended that majors who are planning to pursue graduate studies in archaeology should take at least two of the basic courses in each category. Further courses in languages and in geology are also recommended. View more details on Cornell University .
