Overview

The Archaeology program delivered at College of Wooster is designed both for majors and for students with a more general interest in archaeology.

Key Facts

Its history as an academic field in this country began in 1879, when scholars from a number of established academic disciplines - especially history, classical studies, anthropology, and art history - founded the Archaeological Institute of America. Archaeologists draw on the humanities, history, the social sciences, and the physical sciences in their research to identify the unique achievements and common elements of past societies around the world.

Wooster’s archaeology curriculum has been designed to reflect the interrelatedness of the participating fields and to promote both ethical awareness and an appreciation of human diversity.

Majors may view the degree in archaeology as partial preparation for a career in teaching, museum curatorship, or field archaeology. If so, they should secure as broad a background as possible in the liberal arts and plan to pursue their studies on a graduate level.
