Life After Graduating from Brown
Do you like archaeology so much you want to continue its study, and maybe even make a career in the field? There are many professional opportunities for archaeologists — from Cultural Resource Management (CRM) to nonprofits to publishing.
Why go to graduate school? If teaching at the secondary or university level interests you; if museum work (in curatorial or administrative positions) interests you; if Cultural Resource Management or Historic Preservation interests you — then you probably need more study time and additional degrees to succeed.
