Ben Ford recently discussed the Master of Arts in Applied Archaeology program
with the cast of the CRM Archaeology Podcast.
In his interview, Ford discussed the faculty and requirements that
make the IUP program unique.
The CRM Archaeology Podcast is for and by
archaeologists who work in cultural resource management (CRM). Approximately
90 percent of archaeologists working in the United States are employed in CRM. Nevertheless, CRM isn't widely taught in academic
institutions.
The IUP MA in Applied Archaeology program is one of the few in
the nation designed specifically to prepare students for work in CRM.
The
podcast allowed Ford to discuss the IUP program, provided for feedback about
the program from the show’s cast, and gave the cast an opportunity to offer
advice to students in an Anthropology/Archaeology MA program.
