Minor in Archaeology

19-23 credit hours required.

The Department of Anthropology requires that students earn a minimum   grade of 2.0/S* in all courses counted toward the minor. No more than   two courses may count toward both the Archaeology minor and the major. At least three courses must be taken at the upper division level.

Many anthropology students become majors because of an interest in   archaeology. The Archaeology minor offers students an opportunity to   achieve formal recognition of this interest. The required core of courses gives students a basic grounding in archaeological theory and methods as   well as a survey of world archaeological developments and a knowledge of those disciplines critical to modern archaeology.

All courses are 3 credits unless noted. Credits are divided as follows:
