THE GRADUATE GROUP IN ANCIENT HISTORY is a program that coordinates a curriculum encompassing the whole of the ancient history of the Near East and the Mediterranean Basin. It has as its aim the preparation of candidates for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy.
Faculty from the following departments contribute to the curriculum: Anthropology, Art and Archaeology of the Mediterranean World, Classical Studies, History of Art, Religious Studies, History, and Near East Languages and Civilizations
Students in the Graduate Group pursue the Ph.D. degree. They are required to specialize in two major fields of concentration, most commonly drawn from Mesopotamian, Egyptian, Syro-Palestinian, or Greek and Roman civilizations. Other fields for major or related work include ancient Anatolian, Indian, or Iranian civilizations, as well as the early medieval world. In consultation with an advisor, the student charts a program which may include the political, economic, intellectual, or cultural history, as well as the art and archaeology of his or her two areas.
