Twin Cities Campus
Ancient Mediterranean Studies B.A.Classical and Near Eastern Religions and Cultures
College of Liberal Arts
The program allows students to concentrate on literary and material remains from the Near East and the Mediterranean basin dating from ca. 3000 B.C.E. through 650 C.E. This long era of human history witnessed the development of the ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia, Israel, Egypt, Greece, and Rome--cultures, whose contributions remain fundamental to the modern western world. Students study the literature, history, and archaeology of these regions as a broad interconnected whole. They learn to evaluate and interpret a wide range of evidence from antiquity, as well as to appreciate the various methods by which meaning is extracted from the remains of other cultures and times.
