This interdisciplinary minor is for students with diverse interests in the material culture of the ancient world. Course work combines the study of archeology, literature, art, history, philosophy, myth, and religion. The minor’s scope is not limited to Greece and Rome, but touches on all the ancient civilizations of the Mediterranean and the heirs of late antiquity such as Byzantium and early Islam.
The program represents foundation work crucial to graduate study in traditional departments of classical, near Eastern, or Mediterranean art and archeology. Through this minor, students are given credit for acquiring practical linguistic skills and archaeological field experience as well as scholarly background. Students should consult with the coordinator in designing a program. At least 3 credits must be taken in ARTH, and at least 9 credits must be taken outside of ARTH.
This program of study is an interdisciplinary minor offered by the College of Humanities and Social Sciences .
