About this Program
Much of our teaching takes place away from campus—in museums and galleries, at nearby archaeological sites nearby and during international trips.
Program Overview
Hood is unique among small colleges in offering a concentration in archaeology. Archaeology students examine the art, artifacts and cultures of the ancient world, as well as the contemporary theories and field methods of working archaeologists.
One requirement of the archaeology concentration is a hands-on experience, either in the field on an archaeological project, or in a museum or archaeology lab as a student intern.
Hood students have participated in archaeological excavations in Europe, Asia, Central America and the United States. They have the opportunity to excavate active sites alongside Hood's own archaeology professors, or with other accredited and approved projects; Hood supports a number of these opportunities with research funding.
The Archaeology Minor
Students majoring in a number of fields, including history, literature, foreign languages, philosophy, religious studies or the sciences, may wish to minor in archaeology, as it can complement the major and introduce new areas of specialty. The minor is interdisciplinary, requiring coursework in archaeological methods, regional studies, ancient history and literature.
For more information on core requirements see our course catalog.
