Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Archaeology, Technology and Historical Structures] From University of Rochester

Once accepted into the program, students are assigned an archaeology, technology, and historical structures (ATHS) faculty advisor to help them plan and complete the program. The choice of advisor is based on student interest and is made in consultation with the program director.

Students may choose either Track A, which is course-focused, or Track B, which is research-focused. Both require a minimum of 44 credit hours.

We offer both a major, which leads to a BA degree, and a minor in archaeology, technology, and historical structures (ATHS). Our undergraduate program is ideal for student interested in:

• Archaeology, architecture, art history, classics, or history with a desire for critical insight into the material culture and technology of pre-industrial societies
• Mathematics or natural sciences with a desire to study the impact of technology on ancient and pre-industrial cultures
• Engineering that emphasizes technology, design, materials, structures, and architecture in the context of historical monuments
• Acquiring skills and knowledge of interpretation, conservation, and restoration of historical artifacts, monuments, and infrastructures
