Overview

The Master of Arts in Applied Archaeology is a professionally-orientated program designed to provide a solid anthropological archaeology foundation for students and to prepare them for middle- and upper-level careers in the archaeological sector of the cultural resource management (CRM) industry. The program provides training in anthropological archaeology with a focus on developing a solid background in archaeological method and theory combined with practical experience in field and laboratory studies. Students are then trained how to use that background in an applied setting through curriculum focused on cultural resource management regulations and practice, along with on-the-job training through an internship with a federal or state agency, a private firm, or a tribal entity that conducts archaeological investigations in the context of cultural resource management . All students are required to design and execute a research project and successfully complete a thesis based on that project.
