Student Story

"My time studying archaeology and anthropology was nothing short of amazing. From the outstanding faculty to the "real world" prep for finding a job in the field, UWF has no rival in the United States. Based on my experience, I would recommend it to anyone seriously considering a future in nautical archaeology."

External Supporter Comments

"I was very impressed by the underwater operations built at UWF - everything from the professional before/after briefings, the high caliber of safety protocols, the purpose - built vessels, and (of course) the superior training I saw you delivering to graduates and undergraduates alike."
