There are many certification agencies that help promote good, sound archaeological programs. All programs need a strong basis from which to start from - strong in ethics, management and education. The GTBUP, in cooperation with Northwestern Michigan College, chose Nautical Archaeology Society [NAS] as their platform for education in Michigan. We know you'll enjoy attending these classes and the knowledge gained.
