The Graduate Group in Ancient History is an interdisciplinary program spanning multiple departments, focused on studying ancient civilizations across the Near East and Mediterranean regions. Our scope ranges from early societies in the Tigris-Euphrates river valleys to the advent of Islam and formation of post-Roman kingdoms. Faculty members bring varied specializations, united by our shared mission of reconstructing historical accounts from scattered textual and archaeological sources. Doctoral candidates in this program gain expertise in political, intellectual, cultural, socioeconomic, and religious aspects of at least two distinct ancient cultures as part of their PhD preparation.
