To minor in Archaeology, students must complete at least 27 units of relevant coursework comprised of:

Core | 10 Units
Methods & Skills | 2-5 Units
Theory | 5 Units
Electives | 10 Units

Students may design their own path through the Archaeology minor from scratch or select from one of the four pre-designed tracks and start from there. Tracks are comprised of courses that complete the minor. Each track is designed with different interdisciplinary majors in mind to appeal to students. Please note that while your Archaeology minor will be noted on your diploma, the track will not.

The electives are broken down into emphasis categories below allowing students to identify courses based on their varied interests in archaeology, and students may choose courses from multiple emphasis categories.

Heritage: Courses for students interested in understanding the roles and reception of past material culture in present-day societies and cultures, navigating tensions that emerge within local, national, and international governments/communities, and exploring how heritage work can contribute to healing and reconciliation.
Biological & Environmental Archaeology: Courses for students interested in understanding how humans lived and interacted with their surroundings and the environment.
Archaeological Science & Technology: Courses for students interested in how the sciences and technologies applied to material culture help us understand past societies.
Materiality & Society: Courses for students interested in the relationship and interaction between humans, their objects, and the societies they built together.
Regional: Courses for students interested in a particular region of the world such as the Americas, Mediterranean, Asia/East Asia, and Africa.
