Overview

Program description

The Cultural Resource Management program at University of Lethbridge integrates a range of theoretical approaches from a variety of disciplines with practical experience, and incorporates course work and thesis work within a unique co-op-based learning program where students work in industry.

Co-operative education and internship opportunities provide paid work experience in appropriate employment fields for students. These value-added activities provide enriching experiences and professional development opportunities for students. This major requires a co-operative work term as a degree requirement. Students may elect to complete a second co-operative work term as part of their degree in order to earn a co-op designation.

The archaeological training received during the program prepares students not only for local careers but also international opportunities. Students gain transferable academic and occupational background, which can be applied in any archaeological context.

Career opportunities

Graduates will be prepared to work within pre-existing CRM companies as senior archaeologists or to start their own companies and further contribute to Alberta’s economic growth. Specifically, students who successfully complete this program will be able to:

Supervise archaeological excavations and surveys in Alberta and elsewhere.
Interpret and communicate the results of archaeological work to academics and government agencies, and to corporate and community agencies.
Assist community members and corporations to mitigate heritage concerns in relation to economic development.
Work in a number of settings related to the heritage industry.
