Master's degree
Archeological Heritage Management
|
|
|
This degree is intended for those planning a career in public archaeology. The program seeks to provide a balance between the academic study of archaeology and practical training in the identification, evaluation, and management of archaeological resources. It includes a practicum, internship, or other apprenticeship designed to provide the requisite experience. This might involve a semester-long internship with an approved cultural-resource management group, state historic preservation office, or other governmental office.
Admission
Applicants must have a BA or BS in a discipline or program related to archaeology. Students lacking sufficient preparation must make up the deficiency as determined by the Department's Graduate Studies Committee, in addition to meeting the requirements of the program.
Courses
A minimum of eight semester courses is required, including AR701, AR780, AR805, AR910/AR911; at least one course in an archaeological science or technical study; and at least three additional courses relevant to the program of study. Students must also demonstrate a command of the skills and materials covered by AR503 or AR881, or take the course.
Foreign Language
The student must demonstrate reading proficiency in French, Spanish (for those studying New World or Iberian archaeology only), or German unless another modern foreign language is approved by the Graduate Studies Committee. Preferably, this requirement should be met during the first semester of study, and certainly before the end of the second semester. It must be met before MA exams are taken.
Examinations
Two examinations are required: one on the topics covered by AR701, and the topics of concentration within archaeology; and the other on archaeological heritage management.
Thesis/Research Paper
Each student will write and submit a thesis or special research paper for faculty review. The only difference between a thesis or a research paper is that the former requires one to meet all GRS guidelines and deadlines for submission. The thesis or research paper will be prepared under the supervision of at least two readers who will evaluate the submission on behalf of the Department.
