International Perspective Close Up

The department encourages students to study abroad in order to gain the international perspective that is so important in today's global society. Students are placed internationally based upon their personal and professional goals.

Field Trips and Projects

Digging up to rediscover

Getting experience in the field is a way to enhance in-class instruction. The department coordinates several field trips throughout the year allowing students to observe, discover, excavate, research, assist, and work with peers and faculty on a variety of projects in a real-world setting.

Local area field trips: 

• Prehistoric Archaeology went on a dig at Rancho de las Cabras near San Antonio
• Ancient Mayan and Pre-Columbian art at the San Antonio Museum of Art
