Question hello there,
For several weeks I have been researching about colleges that major in archaeology. It is a frustrating process, especially when most of these schools are too far beyond what I can afford. Do you know of any schools that have a good archaeological program that are also affordable to the average student?
Thank You
Answer Hi Catie,
Most private schools are very expensive but there are some very good programs at state schools and if you are in that state, it should not be that expensive. For instance if you are in Florida, Texas, Pennsylvania, Arizona or California, all have really good programs. If you live in another state they may also have good programs. So, please let me know what state you live in and I will take a look at their programs and give you my opinion about the program I see. And remember, even if the first year is expensive as an out of state student, the next year, if you plan it right, you can get instate tuition as a resident of that state.
So, I await your response and I will be more then happy to do the research for you.
