Certificate in Egyptology
The Egyptology certificate program allows students to examine the history, culture, society, and identity of those living in Ancient Egypt. Students will have the opportunity to examine cultural development and international connections through a variety of sources, such as art, archaeology, and textual evidence. Courses explore the importance of the past on the present, by applying anthropological, historical, and art historical theory as well as a multi-disciplinary perspective.
Certificates may be earned by regularly matriculated or extended learning students and denote successful completion of a prescribed program of study designed to:
- impart specified professional/vocational/career competencies; or
- produce mastery of the content of a sub-field of an academic major (discipline); or
- provide exposure to the range of materials in a traditional or emerging interdisciplinary field.
Candidates must complete two-thirds of their certificate-applicable credit from the university. The transferring of credit or the substitution of courses may occur only after application to the appropriate campus authority.
