In this program, you will gain professional experience and develop core archaeological skills all while anchoring your work in the cultural context of the biblical world. Our courses offer a variety of opportunities where you will complete more than 200 hours of internship work in field schools, museum studies or lab work and will participate in at least one excavation season. 

This archaeology degree is rooted in developing understanding of concepts, terms and theories, and exploring the discipline of archaeology and the biblical text, specifically how these two interface. Courses are taught by leaders in the field connecting you to the wider world of academia and equipping you to think critically and pursue independent research. 

Through this program, you will become a competitive and attractive candidate for a Ph.D. program through primary research, membership in professional organizations and presentations at national and regional meetings of the profession. With hands-on experience and research capabilities, you will graduate as an active member of the scholarly archaeological guild prepared to practice archaeology in the field or to teach in a humanities-based discipline.
