We're committed to the exploration, elaboration and preservation of the cultures of the ancient Greek and Roman worlds.
Our dynamic and comprehensive MA and PhD programs are based on a strong foundation in the history, literature and archeology of ancient cultures. This foundation allows our students and faculty to actively engage with the challenges and opportunities faced by our modern world.

Master's program
Our thesis-based master's program engages students in an in-depth study of classical language, literature, history and archeology before exploring a specific question of interest that has been under-represented in past scholarship.
Doctoral program
Our doctoral program prepares classicists to bring knowledge of the cultures of the ancient Greek and Roman worlds into a productive dialogue with contemporary issues and concerns.
Our PhD program offers four thematic research areas:
- Interconnectivity in the ancient Mediterranean world
- Technology in the ancient world
- Social and economic history
- Gender and identity studies in ancient Greece and Rome
