This program aims to help students examine the broader cultural landscape of the ancient Mediterranean while focusing on one particular Mediterranean or Mesopotamian society. A key feature is its interdisciplinary nature, encouraging students to apply insights and methods from at least three distinct academic fields to their chosen specialization.
The faculty involved are experts in various aspects of ancient cultures and civilizations, representing departments such as Anthropology, Art History and Archaeology, Classics, History, Middle Eastern, South Asian, and African Studies, Philosophy, and Religion. This diversity ensures students have access to multiple scholarly perspectives.
Course availability changes annually. Students must consult about their academic plan before or during registration. The ancient studies major culminates in the senior year, when students with different specializations collaborate in a senior seminar and produce an original research paper. Juniors should begin considering potential senior paper topics and identify a faculty advisor early in their senior fall semester, following discussions with the undergraduate studies director.

The Committee on Admissions selects women of proven academic strength who exhibit intellectual voracity and strong potential for further scholarly growth. In addition to school records, recommendations, writing, and test scores, we carefully consider candidates' talents, abilities, interests, and personal history. While admission is highly selective, it is also holistic; no one criterion or score determines acceptance. We consider each applicant in terms of her personal qualities, her intellectual capacity, and the rigor of the curriculum she has pursued, as well as her potential for achieving at Barnard. We review each applicant in the context of her school, community, and individual story.
Barnard's general education requirements cover a wide range of subjects: literature, the social sciences, language and the arts, lab sciences, and quantitative areas. For this reason, you should acquire a strong foundation in high school, taking courses from the core academic subjects: math, science, English, history, and foreign language.
