Method certificates
Focused sequences in GIS, AI-assisted research, laboratory methods, instrumentation, field documentation, or public scholarship.
Programs & Certificates
Stackable pathways organized around demonstrable capability.
Program development is underway. This page provides the proposed framework without implying authorization or accreditation that has not yet been granted.
Overview
A modular academic framework
Certificates can provide focused entry points into methods, technologies, and interdisciplinary themes. Longer programs can combine those components into coherent sequences with foundations, applications, integration, and capstone demonstration.
Interdisciplinary certificates
Integrated pathways around archaeological science, environmental systems, frontier science, or strategic resilience.
Professional intensives
Short, applied learning for working professionals and partner organizations.
Field & laboratory intensives
Immersive experiences organized around place, instruments, samples, and real research questions.
Development status
Proposed first-wave pathways
AI in Anthropology
A methods sequence connecting AI, ethnography, analysis, ethics, and public outputs.
GIS & Spatial Research
Cartography, GIS, remote sensing, LiDAR, and spatial interpretation.
Archaeometry & Materials Analysis
XRF, materials characterization, provenance logic, and research reporting.
Research Computing & Visualization
Data structures, simulation, interactive visualizers, and reproducible research software.
Next step
Review the current course inventory while program pathways are developed.
Course listings distinguish current database entries from future institutional approvals.
