The About.com Guide to Graduate Schools in Archaeology (aka GGSA) once upon a time had a keyword component--with it, you could search for a university program that specialized in a specific field by using a keyword based on the academic faculty member's research. I just blitzed that part of the GGSA this summer, because it was very difficult to keep up and hence horrendously out of date. But I still keep getting the same question from prospective students: how do I find a graduate school to study their specific brand of archaeology?
In the interest of these students, I've assembled the GGSA by Program Focus, which lists the "taught master's degrees" available around the world. The 'taught' master's degree has a programmed set of courses leading to a master's degree in a specific field--such as MA or MSc in Classical Archaeology, Landscape Archaeology, or Heritage Management. There are other ways to find a school--and Taught MAs are by and large not available in the US or Canada--but I'll save that for another day.
