Overview

The program in Applied Archaeology at the California State University San Bernardino provides an education 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 courses focused on CRM regulations, procedures, and practice, along with opportunities to work along State, Federal, and Tribal entities. Students in the program will graduate with a broad understanding of both academic and CRM archaeology, learning how these archaeologies are complimentary and can be used in concert within our discipline.

Program Highlights

Program focus on a foundation of Anthropological Archaeology and training on how that is used in the applied setting.
