ACADEMIC PROGRAMS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS

The UIUC campus provides extensive opportunities for learning, fieldwork, and laboratory research in archaeology and related fields. Archaeology courses and degrees are offered through the departments of Anthropology, Classics, the Program in Art History , Architecture, and the Program for the Study of Religion.

In the Program in Archaeology in the department of Anthropology, courses cover the cultures of prehistoric Europe, Africa, Egypt, and Asia; North, Central, and South America; and Oceania. Archaeological surveying and analysis of human and animal bones are also taught in Anthropology. Archaeology, art, and architecture of Mediterranean cultures (Minoan, Mycenean, Greek, Etruscan, Roman, Byzantine, etc.) are offered primarily through Classics, Art History, and Architecture, while Biblical archaeology is taught in the Program for the Study of Religion.

Archaeometry (the application of instrumental techniques to the study of archaeological materials) is taught jointly through the Program on Ancient Technologies and Archaeological Materials (ATAM), the Campus Honors Program, and Anthropology.

Archaeology students who wish to broaden their knowledge in areas such as stratigraphy, soil formation, and GIS systems should consult the course offerings in the departments of Geology and Geography. Some courses in History may also be helpful depending upon the geographic interest of the student.
