Master of Science - Cultural Resources Management Archaeology

Cultural Resources Management is about people and the places students consider important for preserving their culture and learning about the history of humankind. Anthropologists are well suited to be CRM professionals because they apply a broad understanding of human culture to bridge the past with the present. By working to conserve and understand the past, CRM efforts have meaning for modern society because people everywhere use the past to construct their identities and practice their heritage. CRM professionals are often involved at the forefront of this process.

The Master of Science - Cultural Resources Management Archaeology Program seeks to provide students with an in-depth understanding of the role archaeology plays in modern cultural resource management in order to be leaders in the field for the 21st century.

The graduate students gain an in-depth understanding of the role CRM plays in modern society and will graduate prepared to become leaders in the field. The graduate program integrates the theory and philosophy required to see the "big picture" with the practical skills needed to successfully design and manage all phases of CRM. The students develop the knowledge, experience, confidence and credentials to either enter the workforce with a master's degree or continue on at the doctoral level.
