Learn how to uncover the secrets of the past and how to record, analyse and evaluate your discoveries so we can better understand the history of Ancient Israel and its people.
You’ll have the opportunity to broaden your experience on an actual dig in Israel or an intensive study trip to Rome where you will learn about its past and heritage.
Our archaeology major will equip you with knowledge about ancient peoples and cultures in the Near East, from earliest habitation through interactions of the ancient Israelites with the Canaanites, Philistines, Egyptians, Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Greeks and, finally, the Romans.
