Overview
Among comparable programs in North America, this department has a distinctive shape and strengths that are, in large part, products of the way it has grown in the past hundred and thirty years. Its most remarkable and distinctive features are its autonomy and its breadth.
The department is part of The Graduate Group in Archaeology, Classics and History of Art at Bryn Mawr College, which brings together faculty and students to encourage interdisciplinary study. While each department awards its own degrees, the Graduate Group creates a collaborative research environment and promotes a strong scholarly community among all of its graduate students.
The Department offers graduate students the opportunity to study the ancient cultures of the Mediterranean and the Near East and to explore the interconnected histories and cultures of these areas. It is expected that students will take a broad range of courses in these fields as they develop their programs of study in their major and allied subjects. Allied subjects are ancient languages (including Greek and Latin at Bryn Mawr and Sumerian, Akkadian, Ugaritic, and Hittite at the University of Pennsylvania), history of art, urban studies, ancient history, anthropology, or archaeological sciences related to the program of the student. The Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology program is offered at Bryn Mawr College.
