Program Statement
The BA in Geoarchaeology is an interdisciplinary baccalaureate degree program that integrates studies in anthropology, geosciences, and the other natural sciences. Geoarchaeology is the science of using the combined contributions of the earth sciences (e.g., petrology, geomorphology, stratigraphy, and geochemistry) and anthropology to assist in the environmental and cultural interpretation of the archaeological site. Employment opportunities include working with agency or industry in areas of cultural resource identification, protection, and management. The program also prepares students for graduate work in this discipline.
