About the Ancient Studies Minor

Degrees

The interdisciplinary minor in ancient studies is shared among the departments of anthropology, art history and archaeology, classical studies, history, philosophy, and religious studies; it is offered at both the MA and PhD levels.

Apply

Graduate students enrolled in one of these departments should apply formally to the current chair of the ancient studies committee.

Curriculum

The minor is taken in addition to the courses required by the student’s major department; it usually constitutes between one-quarter and one-third of the graduate course work.

For the MA degree, a minimum of nine hours of courses from at least two departments outside the student’s major department is required. For the PhD degree, a minimum of 24 hours (including the work for the MA) from at least two departments outside the student’s major department is required; these must include at least one course at the 8000-level in each of the two related departments.
