Interested individuals have also volunteered in the Kelsey, doing everything from helping with public outreach efforts to assisting with collections management. The Kelsey Museum of Archaeology also has a small, non-circulating library, available in posted hours to undergraduates. Occasional field trips are organized, including visits to the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology , the Detroit Institute of Arts and the Toledo Museum of Art . Students are encouraged to suggest and organize such extracurricular events. Every term, visiting speakers offer lectures on various archaeological topics for the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology and the Ann Arbor Chapter of the Archaeological Institute of America .
Programs running either during the summer or during the school year are available.
Archaeological fieldwork opportunities are available in this country and abroad, including countries in the Mediterranean. There are very few jobs directly in the field of classical archaeology. Graduate school, leading to a higher degree and a teaching or research career, is a step that must be carefully considered. What classical archaeology offers is a chance to acquire a good liberal arts degree while studying something at college that you enjoy and find interesting. The Institute publishes two important journals, the American Journal of Archaeology and Archaeology Magazine .
