Students who minor in archaeology can achieve more than a knowledge of the deepest foundations of our civilization. Because of its practical and experimental nature, archaeology facilitates the integration of academic disciplines into a more coherent vision of what abroad liberal arts education is all about. Students who wish to earn a certificate instead of a minor must fulfill program requirements as described in A., B. and D on the next page. Projects chosen range from studies in art, artifacts or architecture of antiquity to chemistry, computer applications and photography. Museum internships are usually available and strongly encouraged.
Academic credit is available.
Arrangements can be made for participation in other digs in Jordan, Israel, Cyprus and Syria. The Archaeology Club offers opportunities for all students to interact with faculty and other students outside of class, to visit museums, attend lectures, work with artifacts, etc. Each course is offered for three credits and may be taken either under ARCH or under the cross-listed department designation.
