Choosing a Great Archeology School for Your Master's Degree

The archeology master's degree program you select can have a big impact on your future. Important measures of a quality archeology program can vary widely even among the top schools. To make it into this list, a school must excel in the following areas.

A Great Overall School

The overall quality of a master's degree school is important to ensure a quality education, not just how well they do in a particular major. To take this into account we include a college's overall Best Colleges for a Master's Degree ranking which itself looks at a host of different factors like degree completion, educational resources, student body caliber and post-graduation earnings for the school as a whole.

Early-Career Earnings

One measure we use to determine the quality of a school is to look at the average salary of master's graduates during the early years of their career. That is, everyone wants their master's degree to be worth something, and salaries are one measure of determining that.

Other Factors We Consider

The metrics below are just some of the other metrics that we use to determine our rankings.

• Major Focus - How much a school focuses on archeology students vs. other majors.
• Major Demand - How many other archeology students want to attend this school to pursue a master's degree.
• Educational Resources - How many resources are allocated to students. These resources may include educational expenditures per student, number of students per instructor, and graduation rate among other things.
• Student Debt - How easy is it for archeology to pay back their student loans after receiving their master's degree.
• Accreditation - Whether a school is regionally accredited and/or accredited by a recognized archeology related body.

Our complete ranking methodology documents in more detail how we consider these factors to identify the best schools for archeology students working on their master's degree.

Insufficient Data for the United States

Regrettably , we don't have sufficient facts to form a ranking of the quality colleges for archeology in the United States. This is typically due to there not being enough schools in the United States that both offer archeology and provided enough information for us to do a sufficient analysis.
