Students who choose this program through participating departments will graduate with a dual-title Ph.D., meaning they'll earn a doctorate in both their primary discipline and in Classics and Ancient Mediterranean Studies.
These interdisciplinary dual-title degrees, combining CAMS with another field, will recognize and promote cross-disciplinary research. The program enhances graduate studies by providing deeper engagement with the Department of Classics and Ancient Mediterranean Studies' focus areas: ancient Mediterranean languages, literature, history, material culture, and cultural reception.
Through this dual-title program, students will develop skills to integrate knowledge across traditional academic boundaries. It also offers teaching opportunities that foster interdisciplinary instructional methods.
Key benefits include the intellectual enrichment of interdisciplinary learning, departmental prestige through this innovative offering, the ability to attract top-tier graduate candidates, and better career prospects for graduates in competitive humanities disciplines.
