World geography or psychology/sociology are probably your best bets.\nArchaeology is frequently taught as part of Anthropology in the US and frequently Anthropology is construed as a social science along with sociology.\n\nIt depends also on what sort of archaeologist you want to be - if you would like to work in Europe AP European history might be of more use.

I agree with the previous response, but I'll add some information of my own.  This is from an American perspective, as that is where I've gotten all my degrees.\n\nFirstly, if you want to find a job as an archaeologist you are going to need at least a Masters Degree (MA) which requires at least 2 years past your ordinary four years of college, and if you want to work in a university, you will almost certainly need a Ph.D which is another 2-4 years of coursework, plus a few years to write a dissertation.\n\nYou have several options for employement and specialization depending on your interests.  In the US and a number of other countries, if you are interested in national archaeology you can get work with the government at the state or local level or with private firms (called "contract archaeology" in the US).  Much of what contract archaeologists do is salvage work - a lot of work in a short period before new roads or buildings are constructed.  Government archaeologists ("public archaeologists") also do salvage work, but are also employed in national and state parks or reserves or by other government agencies to research and maintain cultural heiritage sites.\nThere are a growing number of programs in the US geared toward producing contract and/or public archaeologists.  These programs concentrate on the practicalities of doing this sort of work - methodology, legal concerns, paperwork, etc. and tend to be shorter programs than other archaeology post-graduate degrees.\n\nIf your interests are outside your country of origin (and occasionally, even if they are) you may have a bit more intense of a graduate school experience.  For example, to do Egyptian archaeology one first has to find a graduate program - there are not many in the US.  These programs require a reading knowledge of French and German because a number of the significant scholarly works in Egyptology are written in these languages.  Courses are available so you can pass the practical test, but becoming familiar with one or both before you get to graduate school is a good idea.  A basic knowledge of Arabic is also handy, but is not yet required and one can get by without it while working in Egypt, but it can be a hassle.  My Arabic consists of about 10 words and while I can get the point across, I wish I knew more (and am slowly working on it).\nIn addition, you will need to master at least one phase of the Egyptian language - one starts with Middle Egyptian, and you can branch out as necessary depending on your interest - time period, etc.\nA familiarity with the material culture and chronology of your area is also important, and this comes in courses and outside readings.\n\nThough some programs do not focus all that heavily on general archaeological method and theory, it is very important.  For that reason, I think it isn't a terribly bad idea to major in Anthropology, specializing in Archaeology as an undergraduate.\n\nMost archaeologists have a "thing" that they do - while you need to be familiar with a broad spectrum of the culture you work on - history, language (if possible), chronologies, material culture, etc. - nearly everyone winds up sort of focusing on one thing.  Some examples include ceramics, which are very important for figuring out chronology, trade, subsistence, etc; zooarchaeology, the study of animal bones in archaeological contexts; settlements; cemeteries; monumental areas; landscape, etc.\n\nYou don't really need to figure out your "thing" right away, nor should you feel terribly pressured to focus on a "thing" - it just sort of happens as your interests develop and you work on certain things.  My "things" in Egyptian archaeology happen to be (at the moment), Predynastic chronology and cultures in Upper Egypt (on which I wrote my MA thesis); archaeological theory; ceramics; and non-royal cemeteries (on which I will probably be writing my dissertaion).  \n\nIn any c

The best respected is University of Chicago, I believe. Berkeley also has a very good program, along with Harvard. It's also dependent on what sub-area you want to study. The biggest thing everyone told me for grad school is make a choice based on an advisor. I know that's difficult advice to follow up on, but everyone said that who you study under is more important than where you go when it come time to get a job or get research grants.\n\nGerman would certainly be your second choice. I tried to do some work during undergrad for a major archaeology research paper and was severly limited in my research by not knowing German.

UMASS has a great agricultural program.\n\nIf you are willing to go a little out of the area, Cornell is an absolutely great program, top 5 in the country.\n\nOther good options would be URI and UCONN.

Before trying to learn ancient things,  you need a well rounded education in preparation.  You should focus on anthropology, sociology, and archeology as majors.  You may also want to study Hindi or other Indian dialects.  So I guess I am suggesting that you should go to college first, and perhaps go to India as an exchange student with a program if you can find one.  There are programs in many countries that allow you to study at one of their universities by living with a family and helping to take care of their children.... a nanny.\n\nSue

Egyptology is the scientific study of Ancient Egypt and Egyptian antiquities and is a regional and thematic branch of the larger disciplines of ancient history and archaeology. A practitioner of the discipline is an Egyptologist.
