Archaeology students are encouraged to study abroad for a semester, full year and/or a summer to fulfill electives and to experience first-hand the archaeology of other regions. We work to accomodate any of Dickinson's own programs and its partner programs. The most popular Dickinson programs in the major include England, Ecuador and Argentina, and New Zealand.
