Program description
The Program in Ancient Mediterranean Studies (AncMed) is an interdisciplinary program offering students access to the world of the ancient Mediterranean as viewed through the interaction of Greek, Roman, Egyptian and Near Eastern cultures. Courses emphasize the exchange of artifacts and ideas through Mediterranean history, and the tradition of the ancient world as reflected in subsequent European art, literature and thought. The program also sponsors colloquia and conferences, bringing internationally recognized scholars to the Emory campus to discuss such topics as Ancient Medicine, Mystery Religions, and the Law and the Family in Antiquity. Students are strongly encouraged to spend time abroad, participating in archaeological projects, independent study, and other university programs in Israel, Turkey, Greece, and Italy.
