Classics and Ancient Mediterranean Studies is concerned with the cultures of the ancient Mediterranean world, including the ancient Greeks, Romans, and the peoples of Egypt and the Near East.

Students electing the CAMS major may follow one of three options: 1) Ancient Languages Option, focusing on the study of Greek, Latin, or languages from the Ancient Near East; 2) Ancient Mediterranean Archaeology Option, focusing on the physical evidence for ancient Mediterranean cultures; 3) Classics and Mediterranean Studies Option, an interdisciplinary study of the cultures of the ancient Mediterranean.
