The minor in Ancient
Studies provides students with the opportunity to consolidate
a program of study on the ancient Mediterranean and Near
Eastern worlds based on a variety of disciplinary perspectives.
Courses in history, art, religion, classics, government,
philosophy and archaeology make up the minor. Students shape
their own programs, in consultation with their advisers,
