While it may be relatively simple to train an anthropologist or an archaeologist to dive, it is far more difficult to train a diver to be an anthropologist or an archaeologist. For this reason, candidates for admission into our program are not judged on their diving records but on their training for scholarly research. The Nautical Archaeology Program is a graduate program and does not grant a baculaureate degree.
Adequate training includes study in archaeology, history, and related fields.
Reading proficiency in French, Spanish, or German is required. Greek, or Latin is of inestimable value to the any aspiring nautical archaeologist studying Old World or Classical Archaeolgy. A student whose undergraduate work is not sufficient for graduate work in the program will be expected to correct any deficiencies as suggested by the faculty . Degree Requirements Nautical Archaeology is a program within the Department of Anthropology in the College of Liberal Arts . Application Application deadline is January 1 for admission in the fall semester.
