Archaeology Minor
https://www.shu.edu/academics/minor-archaeology.cfm
The Archaeology program is co-sponsored by the Department of Languages, Literatures and Cultures, and by the Department of Sociology, Anthropology and Criminal Justice.
Participating faculty bring a broad range of academic experience from the arts, humanities, and social and behavioral sciences that systematically query past human endeavor.
The Minor in Archaeology is designed to familiarize students not only with the ancient foundations of human intellectual, social, and material achievement but also to lead them towards an active engagement with the past through guided applications from relevant academic disciplines.
Archaeologists today may be trained not only in discourse by and about ancient peoples but also in ways to interpret, analyze, and engage with both the useful and meaningful things humans make, and do so in innovative ways. Because of its practical and experimental nature, archaeology facilitates the integration of academic disciplines. Students may pursue an Archaeology minor as integral to their degree in certain disciplines, or as bridging content towards interdisciplinary inquiry.
Students are encouraged to integrate the study of archaeology where possible through a combination of on-campus courses, study abroad opportunities and research projects. Projects have ranged from studies of art, artifacts or architecture in antiquity to the bioarchaeology of burials, archival research and photography. Independent study courses in partnership with the Seton Hall University Museum are available and encouraged. Archaeological courses including field schools at other institutions may be accepted for credit with prior permission from the archaeology advisor.
For advisement in the archaeology minor program, please contact Dr. Cherubim Quizon (cherubim.quizon@shu.edu) in the Department of Sociology, Anthropology and Criminal Justice.
