What are the steps to becoming an archaeologist?
Is there a certain school I should go to if I wanted to become an archaeologist? Would you have to have special training and a major in history? #history #archaeology #archaeologist #career-details

Hi Christi -- I've got some background here. There aren't a ton of schools that offer archaeology as an undergraduate major, but there are definitely some really good ones out there in both the big state and small liberal arts school categories. Depending on the specifics of your interest in the subject, you may want to choose a program that takes more of an ancient art history or a classical language approach.
Can you provide some more insight into what you like about archaeology, what relevant classes you might have taken (e.g. Latin), or what you'd like to do as an archaeologist?
Thanks,
Scott
