Overview

Diploma in Archaeology

The Archaeology Diploma program at Northern Lights College provides academic knowledge and field skills specific to archaeology sampling techniques. 

The field of archaeology is growing along with the oil and gas industry and other developments that disturb the land. 

Trained graduates can find employment opportunities with numerous archaeology and environmental consulting firms and government agencies.

The diploma program is ideally suited for students interested in entry-level positions that largely involve fieldwork in remote areas under physically demanding conditions. 

This career can involve survey and excavation, artifact processing and analysis, and report preparation.

Students can obtain employment in upper-level positions by using this Diploma program as a stepping stone to completing a bachelor's degree. 

A degree in Anthropology or Archaeology, in combination with field experience, offers graduates the opportunity to become Field Directors or Senior Archaeologists.

This program starts on even years.
