考古学和历史学学士学位

通过融合历史学和人类学的方法和观点，历史考古学研究了现代社会的兴起。自探索时代以来，其主要重点一直是欧美社会的发展。这涉及广泛的主题和研究问题。除了关注欧美文化发展外，还研究了非洲，拉丁美洲和美洲原住民文化的增长。由于历史和人类学的学科问题都涵盖了历史考古学所不关心的问题，因此创建了这门联合专业，以结合这两个学科的课程，以形成历史考古学的统一研究计划。同时，该计划旨在通过将历史和考古学的观点集中在现代社会的兴起上，保留通识教育学士学位的基础广泛的教育。
Through a melding of the methods and perspectives of both history and anthropology, Historical Archaeology studies the rise of modern society. Its primary focus has been the growth of Euro-American society since the Age of Exploration. This involves a wide range of topics and research questions. In addition to the focus on Euro-American cultural development, African, Latin American, and Native American cultural growth is examined. Since the disciplinary concerns of both history and anthropology cover issues beyond those of interest to historical archaeology, this joint major has been created to combine courses from both disciplines that will serve to form a unified program of study in historical archaeology. At the same time the program is designed to retain the broad-based education of a liberal arts BA by focusing the perspectives of both history and archaeology on the rise of modern society.
