Minor in Mediterranean Archaeology
Students interested in Mediterranean Archaeology can register for an eponymous minor, which consists of six courses and can easily be combined with another major or minor.
Requirements
- At the 100-level, either “Mediterranean Myths, Then & Now” (AMS 280M) or “Daily Life in Greece and Rome” (AMS105), Ancient Cities (AMS 115), or, in exceptional cases, an equivalent course.
- One course at the 200-level (choosing from e.g., Materials Matter (AMS 281M), Art in the Ancient Greek World (AMS 280A), Rome: Archaeology of Empire (AMS 225), The Archaic Mediterranean (AMS 283A), Roman Art (AMS 230)).
- Three courses at the 300-level (choosing from e.g., Ancient Roman Economy (AMS 330), Etruscan Archaeology (AMS 320), Archaeological Ethics (AMS 335), Rome’s Augustan Rebirth (AMS381X), Archaeology of Athens (AMS 340), Hellenistic and Roman sculpture (AMS380H), Trojan War (AMS 360), Urbanism in Antiquity (AMS380U), Ancient Italy in Context (AMS480S)).
- One elective course, listed under Ancient Mediterranean Studies (AMS) or one chosen from cognate subjects, e.g., Anthropology, Environmental Studies, Geography, Geology, and History, or one field study or internship course, these last two by advisement of the Undergraduate Director.
For any one course lacking the “AMS” prefix, students must seek permission from the Undergraduate Director. Please note that:
- No more than two introductory-level (100-level) courses may be counted toward the minor.
- Three courses must be at the 300-level or above.
- Any course in which a student receives the grade of P or D shall not count toward the minor.
