Archaeological Resource Management (ARM) represents the principal focus of modern archaeology here and abroad. The proposed MS degree in ARM is a unique program that aims to provide graduates with critical understanding of practical and operational relationships in cultural resource management. This program combines theoretical issues and the practical applications of ARM in the U.S. and the wider world. Full consideration is given to the scientific, technical, legal, philosophical, financial, and practical basis of archaeological work in the context of public and private-sector development. Studies in this area can help archaeologists draw together diverse subject materials from many specialist areas into a coherent corpus for the purpose of research and management of archaeological resources.

Objectives of this program are to provide UGA graduate students with sound, detailed knowledge and critical understanding of archaeological resource management principles and methods for all theoretical and practical activities related to human activity in both archaeological (anthropogenic) and natural contexts. Please note: This program is not currently accepting students.
