How do I go about becoming an Egyptologist??

Question

I teach Art Appreciation and I'm just fascinated with Egypt!!

Answer 1

"Most full-time Egyptological jobs require that you have a Ph.D. in Egyptology, or be well on your way toward obtaining one. Training in Egyptology for a doctoral degree can take at least eight years of university, both undergraduate and graduate programs, and often much longer. Many university programs offer the opportunity to specialize either in Egyptian language or in art and archaeology of ancient Egypt. If you are studying at a university that allows you to specialize either in archaeology or Egyptian language you should take some courses in both fields regardless of the field in which you ultimately decide to specialize.

Ancient Egypt studies would include Anthropology, Archeology, Art History (something that you might find most interesting) and Middle East studies. Do a little research on exactly what you want to study and then contact a university in your area for recommendations on what to do next.
