Concentration :: Cultural Resource Management

The concentration in Cultural Resource Management allows M.A. and Ph.D. students the option of creating a concentrated plan of study around contemporary issues in CRM, within the larger degree in Applied Anthropology. This concentration meets the need to train students in the principles and practices of CRM for employment in the public and private sectors of a rapidly expanding field, especially in Florida and the larger Southeast, as well as to equip students to teach in the field. This concentration is unique in Florida’s; it builds on the existing strength of the public archaeology track while adding a more focused program of study for students who plan on entering the field of archaeological resource management or applied archaeology as an academic field. Students in both the M.A. and Ph.D. programs may choose to fulfill the concentration, whether they are pursuing the current cultural track or the archaeology track. Students pursuing a concentration in Cultural Resource Management must take the basic core requirements of their particular graduate program.
