About
- The program is distinguished by its commitment to interdisciplinary approaches to the ancient past, including the study of material culture, broadly construed, and interests in the ancient Near East as well as the classical civilizations of Greece and Rome.
- Prospective applicants to AHMA should also read, as relevant to their interests, about the separate programs in Anthropology, Classics, History, History of Art, and Near Eastern Studies in order to determine which program would best fit their interests.
- Despite the distinct programs, students in all of them combine to form a large and vibrant intellectual community, participating in many of the same seminars, attending the same events, and working with the same faculty.

Programme Structure
- There is no prescribed course of study for the AHMA program and work is tailored to suit the interests and goals of the individual student, who should choose his or her courses in consultation and agreement with the Advisory Committee.
- Work in the ancient languages is an early and high priority, however, and students should plan to continue course work in languages already begun. Those who begin an ancient language after admission should plan to study that language continuously for at least their first two years in the program. In addition, students are expected to enroll in courses and seminars relevant to their developing areas of interest as they move through the program.
