The program trains students for work as archaeological technicians, adding a vocational component to an academic discipline. Archaeology, with its modern emphases on scientific problem solving, an evolutionary perspective, and ecological theory, is also a valuable part of a student's science education. » Grade Requirements: A minimum grade of "C" in courses counted toward fulfilling the major (a grade of "C-" is not acceptable) and an overall GPA of 2.00. » Credit Hour Requirements: Minimum of 26 credit hours for the Institutional Certificate, which must include ENGL ENIOIO (3) or equivalent.
