The anthropology degree for a future archaeologist will include a concentration of archaeology courses, fieldschool training, and courses in physical anthropology and cultural anthropology. Special attention is also given to linguistics- the study of human languages. The Anthropology degree at Southeast Missouri State is a 36 hour major, with a Minor and Foreign Language required. Students interested in pursuing a career in archaeology major in anthropology, but concentrate in courses such as archaeological fieldschool, or archaeological laboratory, and any of a number of other general archaeological survey courses. Every summer the anthropology program conducts an archaeological field school which teaches excavation methods and procedures at a site in the region.
Special emphasis is placed on excavation and survey techniques.
