Where to apply for archaeology

Hi! I am super interested in archaeology, but I am having trouble finding schools that aren't ivy league or semi-affordable. I talked with another archaeology major and she suggested studying "the classics". I am not completely sure what that means, but if it helps let me know.

Hi there, I’m in just the same situation you are and I hope that my answer will be of use considering that there’s little discussion on these subjects! You really have to go into some deep digging on college websites for information on archaeology programs. Some colleges will have archaeology as a subset of anthropology or classics that you can specialize in. Others have Ancient Studies that have archaeology courses as well. Here’s a list of more accessible colleges and universities that offer some sort of archaeology program not in any kind of order:

George Washington University

UNC Chapel Hill

Sewanee

Dickinson College

Bryn Mawr College

College of Wooster

Sweet Briar College

University of Washington

CU Boulder

Appalachian

Reed College

U Michigan

Many UCs

Brigham Young University

University of Evansville

University of Mizzou

Hunter CUNY

College of Charleston

UT Austin

Rutgers

Here’s a link to grad programs through the Archeological Institute of America. Many of these schools have excellent undergrad programs as well so this can guide you:

I hope this helped!

Classics are ancient greek and roman/Latin studies.

See this list for colleges: https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/archeology-major-4503

You won't see that many colleges for this major because most- if not all- have a PhD, meaning you are singularly devoted to archaeology.
