The B.A. degree is awarded after three years of studies. Topics of teaching are organized into four sections: prehistoric archaeology, biblical archaeologyclassical archaeology and the ancient near east. During the first year the students are required to attend and be examined in introductory courses relating to all the main archaeological periods studied in the department. Second year students choose from the different departments as their major studies and attend courses accordingly. 

In addition to class work, B.A. studies include field trips, excavations and practical studies. The latter consist of a study excavation at the end of the first year, as well as hands-on laboratory courses, such as the study of lithics, pottery, archaeozoology and the human skeleton.  

When students choose to study archaeology in combination with another topic, it is recommended that the minor be in one of the following departments: Biblical Studies, Hebrew Language, History of Israel (First or Second Temple Period), Geography, Classical Studies, Art History (with an emphasis on ancient art), Anthropology, Life Sciences (zoology, biology).
