It offers one of the few bachelor's degrees in the discipline nationwide.Many of our students select a double major or minor in anthropology, classical studies, history or biological anthropology.

Archaeology majors study a variety of subjects within the field, including sociocultural anthropology, human cultural beginnings and the archaeology of Africa, the classical Mediterranean, the Middle East and Mesoamerica. Students are exposed to the latest field and laboratory techniques. They are trained to construct arguments and to use material culture and data from excavations and surveys to support or refute interpretations.

The Archaeology program is offered at George Washington University.
