Archaeological Oceanography
College or University: University of Rhode Island
Type of degree: M.A.
Brief overview of program: In conjunction with the Institute of Archaeological Oceanography, URI is now offering an Archaeological Oceanography joint degree program in which students simultaneously take an M.A. in History (Anthropology and Archaeology Option) and a Ph.D. in Oceanography. Six credits from each degree may be counted toward the degree requirements of the other, thus reducing the total requirements by 12 credits (i.e., 24+66 = 90 credits total). Students wishing to enroll in the Archaeological Oceanography Joint Degree Program must apply to be admitted both to the History Department's M.A. program (Anthropology and Archaeology Option) and to one of the four disciplines of the GSO Ph.D. program. They must therefore have strong preparation in both the Humanities and the Sciences.
