Master's Degree

Program Summary

As part of the MA degree, students earn between six and 18 credit hours in a research concentration.

The archaeology studies program concentrates on the study of past human societies using archaeological data collected in field and museum settings. While a quantitative and scientific approach is emphasized in the archaeology program, both political economy and cultural ecology are emphasized as theoretical perspectives. Theoretical, methodological and area courses are offered. In addition, internships are available in a variety of local museums and historic preservation offices in the Denver area. These courses may be supplemented by courses in the geology, geography and history departments.
