The Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR) facilitates and supports undergraduate student engagement in research and scholarly activities.

Undergraduate research can look vastly different between disciplines, but the underlying principle is the same: exploration and discovery. Whether your research leads you out on a boat to collect water samples or is required before creating a beautiful work of art, the value of undergraduate research is priceless. Students who have participated in undergraduate research benefit in many ways, including:

1.) acquiring research, communication, and professional skills

2.) developing critical thinking, self-confidence, and creativity

3.) engaging a deeper understanding of a discipline or potential career path and

4.) strengthening preparation for graduate or professional school or the workforce.

The Archaeology Institute is one of several complementary units that focus on anthropology and
archaeology at the University of West Florida. The Institute also oversees the operations and
activities of the Marine Services Center (MSC), which is a unit under Academic Affairs. This
document pertains to the Archaeology Institute.

The Archaeology Institute is dedicated to the support of academic programs at the University of
West Florida through the investigation, preservation, and enhancement of archaeological
resources, and through public outreach, education, and training opportunities for students and the
public. The important values of archaeological resources are communicated by involving
undergraduate and graduate students and the public in archaeological research. Formal classes,
workshops, public lectures, exhibits, publications, and other high-impact practices are conducted
and produced by Institute staff and Department faculty alongside students in Anthropology. The
Institute further makes equipment and workspaces available to faculty, staff, and students
engaged in instruction, research, and service at UWF.
The Institute plays an integral part in the training, education, and professionalization of students
at UWF. Through direct, hands-on and high-impact practices like conducting archaeological
research and fieldwork for clients, developing research designs and implementing them,
supporting Masters thesis research, and contributing to original research and reporting of
archaeological investigations, students can, under the tutelage of Institute professionals, gain
marketable skills necessary for a wide variety of cultural resource management and preservation,
museum and research institutes, higher education, and private contractual careers. The
Archaeology Institute further supports faculty in the Department of Anthropology (and others)
through materials and supplies (including maritime services like boats and dive lockers), labor,
and laboratory space needed to complete research.
