Hello! My name is Tim McAndrews and I am the Chair of the Department of Archaeology & Anthropology at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse (UWL). Do you have students that are interested in the ancient past or who love experiencing different cultures? Do you have students that have told you that they want to be an archaeologist? If so, they may be interested to learn about our programs in Archaeology and Cultural Anthropology at UWL. Do you have students that are interested in both the sciences and humanities? This is another good reason to look into Archaeology and Anthropology, disciplines that link scientific methodologies with humanistic interpretations of human culture and the human past. UWL is one of the top regional universities in the Midwest, we are extremely competitive in terms of cost of attendance, and we have highly respected and well-resourced academic programs in Archaeology and Cultural Anthropology. In fact, our Archaeology Major is ranked #2 in the country in terms of quality and value. Our degree programs in Archaeology and Cultural Anthropology are among the top programs at UWL, and we are always seeking more motivated, high-performing students. Our students find specialized careers in museums and universities as well as a variety of more common professional pursuits in environmental science, development planning, government agencies, K-12 education, business, law, forensic science, and health care to name just a few. Our programs are also excellent preparation for government service, non-governmental organizations, and the Peace Corps. Our internationally respected professors specialize in Egypt, the South American Andes, Mesoamerica, the Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia, and North America and we provide a rich array of international experiences to our students. We have world-class laboratory facilities and cutting-edge technologies that provide our students with unmatched practical experience and technical skills applicable in archaeology, anthropology and an array of different professions. The resources our undergraduates have are matched by few other universities, even most large research institutions. So, if you have motivated students interested in Archaeology or Anthropology, please forward them this information. Also, I have attached brochures for each of our programs of study. Perhaps the best evidence of the quality of our programs are the extraordinary testimonials of our graduates, a sample of which you can access at https://www.uwlax.edu/archaeology/alumni/. Also, please encourage interested students to visit our website (www.uwlax.edu/archaeology) and if they have any questions about our degree offerings or would like to schedule a visit, they can contact me at [email protected]. I love to show prospective students around our extensive lab facilities! If you are interested in learning more, feel free to contact me as well! Thanks for all you do for your students!
