Ancient Mediterranean Studies
The Program in Ancient Mediterranean Studies (AMS) is an interdisciplinary program that is a collaborative attempt to make the world of the ancient Mediterranean and its Greek, Roman, Egyptian, and Near Eastern cultures and their legacies and traditions an integral part of the humanities at Emory. To this end, AMS provides an interdisciplinary major among the fields of art history, classics, history, Middle Eastern studies, philosophy, and religion, presents colloquia and conferences, and offers opportunities for independent study and study abroad.
