The Department of Ancient Mediterranean Studies & Archaeology provides a student-centered, inclusive, and supportive community for students with wide-ranging interests in the ancient Mediterranean world. Our students work closely with their professors both inside and outside the classroom, and often identify the individualized attention they receive as a unique benefit to the major. Our graduates enter the workforce as problem-solvers, dynamic thinkers, and global citizens with a unique perspective that bridges the past and present.
