New MA in Ancient Mediterranean Studies!

The master of arts program in Ancient Mediterranean Studies is a broad, interdisciplinary program focused on the cultures, literatures, and histories of the ancient Mediterranean world. Students combine course work on research methodologies with seminars in their own areas of interest. Possible areas of interest could include—but are not limited to—the Ancient Near East, Egypt, the Levant, the Hebrew Bible, early Judaism, Greece, Rome, Early Christianity, and the modern reception of the ancient Mediterranean world. The ultimate aim of the M.A. is to prepare students for a variety of professions, such as further graduate work, museum work, library science, or secondary teaching.
