Bachelor of Arts in Archaeology and Heritage Studies

Wilfrid Laurier University

Our Archaeology and Heritage Studies program explores areas of faculty research expertise in the archaeology of the New World and the Ancient Mediterranean World. This program focuses on the cultures of North America in both the pre-contact and post-contact periods of the arrival of Europeans. There will also be a focus on the ancient societies of Greece, Rome and the Near East.You'll be trained in the methods of field archaeology and analytical techniques used in modern archaeology within the context of the larger field of heritage conservation and preservation. Courses in this program are a mixture of theory and practical applications of that theory. Practical applications will take place in our archaeological laboratories, where studies in material culture are conducted. Experiential learning, which in many cases leads to careers in the heritage field, is one of the program's core strengths
