Overview
Students have the option of choosing either the thesis track, the internship track, or the skills-based track (courses + comprehensive exams).
The curriculum includes over 60 courses for students who want to learn more about the field. Our courses address a huge range of topics and emphasize writing, critical thinking, research methods, and ethics. We offer:
- lecture-type classes
- online courses
- small seminar-discussion classes
- lab-based classes (zooarchaeology, artifact/feature analysis, human osteology, paleoanthropology)
- training in ethnographic methods including ethics and protocols for working with human subjects
- field-based courses, such as the Fort Vancouver Archaeological Field School and the Primatology Field School at the Myakka City Lemur Reserve in western Florida
