Archaeological Studies, Undergraduate Minor

The College of Arts & Sciences offers an interdisciplinary minor in archaeological studies. This program combines archaeological courses from Classics and Anthropology to provide students with complementary perspectives on the discipline, focusing on the Mediterranean world and the New World, respectively. To complete the minor in archaeological studies, students must complete 18 hours of courses approved by the director. The minor requires a minimum of 9 hours of upper division (3000-level courses or higher) coursework. All students are required to take ANTH 2301  (Introduction to Archaeology) and CLAS 2335  (Archaeologies of the Classical World). Students may count one field course toward the minor: ANTH 4642  (Field Archaeology), ANTH 4643  (Field Research in Skeletal Biology), or CLAS 4601  (Classical Field Archaeology). No more than 12 hours of coursework from one program can be counted toward the minor. Students must receive a grade of C or better in all courses applied toward the minor. Contact the director or see the program’s website (https://www.depts.ttu.edu/sasw/anthropology/archaeological_studies.php) for a list of approved courses. Other applicable courses not on the list may be approved at the director’s discretion.
