Master of Science in Industrial Archaeology at Michigan Tech
Applying to the Program 
IA is an inherently interdisciplinary undertaking. Our program attracts students with diverse interests, though most of our graduate students come with some history, anthropology, or archaeology background. Applicants to the program need to fulfill the general application requirements of the Graduate School. Applications are reviewed for admission by the faculty in the IA program. We use a mix of criteria for admissions decisions, such as undergraduate record, standardized test scores, recommendations, writing ability, work experience, and demonstrated interest in the field.
Application to the IA Graduate program requires:
- A completed application form (sent to the Graduate School) with the application fee and official transcripts from all previous university study.
- Results of the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) general test. The TOEFL is required for students from countries where the native language is not English.
- A Statement of Purpose and writing sample, both sent to the Director of Graduate Studies in IA.
- Three letters of recommendation, sent to the Director of Graduate Studies in IA.
We currently maintain an open-ended applications policy, with no deadlines for receipt of applications, but we must make financial support decisions in Spring. Therefore, to assure full consideration for support in September, please complete your application by January 15th. Please contact Tim Scarlett at the Social Sciences Department to let him know that you've started the on-line application, even before it is complete. That alert will allow us to track your on-line application.
