Archaeology AA

at Moorpark College

To earn an Associate in Arts Degree with a major in Archaeology, students complete 25 specified units, plus General Education Degree Requirements for a minimum total of 60 units. These major requirements optimize preparation for upper division course work for advanced degrees in Archaeology offered by four-year institutions. In addition, earning this degree suggests an achievement of technical skills that may be helpful in seeking immediate employment with a local archaeological firm, or obtaining a position on an archaeological project either within or outside the United States.

This specialized program in Archaeology is not intended to be used as a license for independent unsupervised archaeological research. Rather it is designed to introduce students to archaeological research, and provide opportunities to actively participate in supervised archaeological survey, excavation, and artifact analysis.
