The club has regular meetings and is open to all students. An undergraduate degree in archaeology is preparation for continued study or professional development in almost any field. If you are interested in a career in archaeology itself, either in research, higher education, museum work, or cultural resource management, you will need an advanced degree. Your undergraduate degree from Boston University will put you in a competitive position to continue in the field. If you decide to pursue another career, the broad range of studies you will cover as an undergraduate represents excellent preparation for a career in law, business, medicine, education, or most other professions.
Archaeology fascinates almost everyone, but only a few individuals are trained in it.
Archaeologists attract considerable interest from employers in areas like publishing, government service, management, and foreign service who are looking for diversity in skills and breadth of knowledge in their employees. Your strength will lie in your broad training in the liberal arts. An undergraduate major in archaeology requires study in a broad set of disciplines. Aside from the required curriculum in liberal arts and courses in the Department of Archaeology, students are encouraged to have a minor in a related field and must take courses in cultural anthropology, languages, and laboratory sciences.
