Joint Major in History and Archaeology

Students with an interest in American historical archaeology may elect the joint major in history and archaeology, which is designed to provide students with a cohesive program of archaeological and historical study in the cultures of America. This joint major is administered through the anthropology and history departments.

A joint major should not be construed as a double major. With a double major, students complete requirements for two separate majors. A joint major is a single major typically requiring students to take more courses than other single majors but fewer than would be necessary to complete a double major.
