Our admissions process is rolling; that is we accept qualified students as we receive their applications, and until the program is full. In order to be considered for the Early Admission to the program, and for the third party grants, your application must be received by March 1, 2026. The second application deadline will be April 15, 2026, unless we fill our spots earlier.

Once you are accepted into the program, there will be a registration and application through UMass Amherst for participation in the program. This is the same process for participants who are taking the course for credit and those who are not. The program costs are also the same. Upon acceptance a deposit is due to UMASS to ensure your position on the excavation, with the remainder of payment due by May 1st.

We hope that this information has answered most of your questions about Poggio Civitate and our field school. If you have any additional questions or concerns, or would like to talk to a past participant about his or her experience, please complete the form below and we can facilitate.  Thank you for your time, and we look forward to hearing from you.
