Archaeology Program

Cornell offers a full major in archaeology through a interdisciplinary program involving several departments.  These include anthropology, geology and other sciences, languages, history, art history, and more.

Students in our program benefit from Cornell's small classes, liberal arts orientation, and One Course At A Time calendar.  This framework provides extensive opportunities for off-campus study, research, and individual mentorship as students explore possible paths in the diverse terrain of archaeological endeavors.
