| The degree is designed for students whose interests go beyond a particular region or period in the ancient world or who wish to develop a wider critical framework from which to study a subject, region, or period. Students in this program are particularly encouraged to incorporate inter- and cross-disciplinary approaches in their education and research. The scope of the program allows students to pursue, for instance, advanced comparative studies in Greek, Roman and ancient Indian historiography; cross-linguistic studies; ancient Mediterranean cross-cultural studies; research in ancient Indian and Hellenic and Roman contacts; ancient China; and comparative studies in ancient religions, societies, polities, built spaces, and visual cultures.
Students will be able to develop their personal research interests and critical skills by taking advantage of the broad range of expertise in the Department of History and Classics with respect to the ancient world. Areas of faculty expertise include Ancient History and Historiography; Classics; Ancient Religions; Late Antique and Early Medieval Europe; Archaeology and Material Culture of the Ancient World; Historical and Archaeological Theory and Methodology; and Latin, Greek, and ancient Hebrew Languages and Literatures.
