Overview

By integrating perspectives and methods from both the natural and social sciences, students in the Archaeological and Environmental Sciences program from Boston University gain a well-rounded understanding of the deep history of human modifications of the environment and a deep-time perspective on sustainability.

The degree allows students to accumulate considerable scientific expertise in an area, or multiple areas, of their choice, building upon a broad background in basic chemistry, biology, and data analysis methods.

Career opportunities

A capstone seminar and research opportunities with faculty from both the archaeology program and Department of Earth & Environment allow students majoring in Archaeological & Environmental Sciences to apply their knowledge to real-world problems of the present day, preparing them for graduate study (for example, in environmental archaeology, archaeological sciences, environmental or sustainability studies, or paleoenvironmental sciences) or professional employment (in environmental or archaeological consulting, laboratory work, nonprofit organizations, or with local, state, and federal agencies).
