SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS!
Education at any world-class institution of higher learning is expensive. While UCLA is very competitive in terms of fees compared to our peer institutions, the costs for graduate education still are considerable (current fees per student are over $8,000 per year, and for non-residents there is an additional annual fee of $14,000 per year). This must be added to the cost of living in Los Angeles, a factor that presents significant challenges to attracting top students for study here.
You may be surprised to learn that UCLA receives only about 20% of its budget from the state of California. As a result, the University and its programs must raise the rest of the funding for its research and education activities from private donors and from industry.
The UCLA Interdepartmental Archaeology Program produces top-notch graduates in archaeology who will provide important academic leadership into the next decades. Our Ph.D. graduates are now teaching at universities and research institutions around the world, including Harvard University, the University of Utah, National Taiwan University, University of California - Santa Barbara, the University of Illinois, Syracuse University and the University of Pennsylvania.
We invite prospective donors to contact the Program Chair to discuss innovative ways of contributing to student success in the Interdepartmental Archaeology Program. Thanks for your interest in supporting students and we look forward to hearing from you!
Monica L. Smith, Ph.D.
Chair, Interdepartmental Program in Archaeology
