Mediterranean Archaeology
What does Archaeology look like in the contemporary world? Through a specialization in Mediterranean Archaeology you will go beyond the traditional study of Greek and Roman societies to answer this question by exploring the religions of the ancient Mediterranean, cultural aspects of ancient Mediterranean societies, and examining their economic, political, and cultural influence on the world today. Discover how the Mediterranean remains influenced by the ancient Mediterranean and step up to the challenge of responding to threats to cultural heritage.
