ARCHA-MIN - Archaeology (Minor)

Archaeology is the study of human societies through their material remains. Archaeology is a discipline that offers direct access to the experiences of a wide range of people in numerous cultures across the globe. Increasingly, archaeology bridges past and present societies through the study of the human heritage and its role in contemporary societies. Stanford's Archaeology program provides students with an interdisciplinary approach to the material remains of past societies, drawing in equal parts on the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences.

The Archaeology curriculum draws on faculty from a wide range of University departments and schools. To complete the requirements for the minor, students must take courses from the offerings of the program and from the listings of other University departments. The program culminates in a minor in Archaeology.

A minor in Archaeology can complement many majors, including but not limited to Anthropology, Applied Physics, Art & Art History, Classics, Earth Systems, East Asian Languages & Cultures, Engineering, Geological & Environmental Sciences, History, and Religious Studies.
