ÐÓ°ÉÔ´´ University Launches New Minor in Archaeology
Digging up the past to understand the present.
In the fall of 2015, ÐÓ°ÉÔ´´ University will proudly launch a minor in Archaeology.
The minor in Archaeology is designed to train students in the recovery and understanding of the past through the interpretation of material remains.
The minor facilitates a terrific opportunity for students to combine in-class learning with hands-on experience in the field.
Housed in the Greek and Roman Studies Program within the College of the Humanities, the minor draws widely on the expertise of faculty across the university, in order to reflect the breadth of knowledge required to understand a past culture.
