Archaeology & Heritage Management
Degree Title:
Bachelor of Science in Behavioral Sciences, Archaeology & Heritage Management Concentration
Bachelor of Science in Behavioral Sciences, Archaeology & Heritage Management Concentration
Archaeology and heritage management focuses on understanding, preserving, and interpreting the material and cultural traces of human life. As a subfield of anthropology, archaeology studies people and cultures through artifacts, landscapes, architecture, and other forms of material evidence, especially from the past. Heritage management builds on this work by considering how cultural sites, objects, traditions, and histories are protected, preserved, shared, and interpreted for communities and the public. This concentration provides a strong foundation for students interested in archaeology, cultural resource management, museum and heritage work, conservation, research, tourism, public history, and related fields.
