Distinguished Majors Program (DMP)

Students with superior academic performance are encouraged to apply to the Distinguished Majors Program (DMP) in which they write a thesis demonstrating independent study of high quality.

• Students must have satisfied all College area requirements as stated in the Undergraduate Record with a GPA of at least 3.4 in all University courses.
• Students must have a GPA of at least 3.4 in all courses taken as part of the archaeology major.
• Students need the permission of an advisor. This person may be any member of the program's faculty who is willing to take on the responsibility of supervising the thesis, and is normally someone to whom the students have already demonstrated their ability in a specialized course at the 5000 level.
• Students must also select a second faculty member to serve on their committee along with the major thesis advisor.
• Students must enroll for ARCY 4998 and ARCY 4999 in the Fall and Spring of their 4th year, respectively.

The deadline for the DMP application is April 30th of the student's 3rd year.  In special circumstances, students may apply early in the Fall semester of the 4th year: http://archaeology.virginia.edu/dmp.html

The deadline for final submission is April 15th of the 4th year. 

Three copies are to be submitted (one to advisor, one to 2nd reader, one to DMP advisor).
