The Department offers the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in Anthropology. Most students earn the M.A. degree while continuing their studies toward the doctorate, although it is possible to complete only the M.A. degree. Graduate students may concentrate on archaeology and through a flexible guidance committee system develop a course of study specializing in historical archaeology. It is expected that students who specialize in archaeology will leave the program as well-rounded anthropological archaeologists. Graduate students are required to take several courses in general anthropology as well as meet archaeological theory and method requirements. Those who specialize in historical archaeology are expected to develop skills in documentary research and in the analysis of historic-period material culture. Ongoing field programs provide experience in conducting all phases of research including training in contract research. Michigan State University has a long commitment to graduate work and field research in historical archaeology. University laboratory collections, computer access, and library facilities appropriate to training in historical archaeology are available. Archaeologists in the department are part of the University’s Consortium for Archaeological Research, which serves as a multidisciplinary link for archaeologists and related scholars across the campus. Student support is available in the form of research and teaching assistantships. The department works closely with the Michigan State University Museum, and is also an active participant in the university’s American Indian Studies Program, and a number of other scholars are available to work with students through association with this program. MSU has a formal Campus Archaeology Program that employs and trains historical archaeologists and public archaeologists. MSU supports the program and students develop research projects and learn to interact with various parts of campus administration. The url for this specific program is:http://campusarch.msu.edu
