Estudios del Mediterráneo Antiguo, Licenciatura en Humanidades

Investigate for yourself the narratives from and about the Greco-Roman world: their literatures, mythologies, the material remains, and languages. Interrogate the puzzles that are still unsolved and unsolvable, from ancient medical treatments to gladiatorial combat. Use your creativity and analytical skills to propose new solutions to those puzzles.

Learning how to solve a puzzle that is missing most of its pieces develops unique and versatile skills. We combine data analysis with out-of-the-box problem-solving, precision translating with creative communication, and close reading with imaginative troubleshooting. These skills are essential for a wide range of career paths. Our alumni have taken their “GLAM” into government, law, business, marketing, web design, management, and education, to name a few.

Our program is distinctive because we don’t just care about the past and its relation to the present. Studying Mediterranean antiquity helps us see and interrogate the values, preconceptions, and prejudices of today. This discipline's fundamentally creative nature gives us the tools to think differently about tomorrow and create new structures and solutions that make our world a more just and equitable place.
