Ph.D. in History: Ancient Mediterranean World
Candidates must pass proficiency examinations in ancient Greek and Latin and at least two modern European languages (other than English) -- one ancient and modern language at the MA level, and the other ancient and modern languages prior to completion of the Ph.D. This year there were a total of seven graduate students in the ancient Mediterranean field.
Students interested in pursuing graduate study should first contact our ancient Greek historian, Prof. John W. I. Lee (email: jwilee@humanitas.ucsb.edu), or our later Roman historian, Prof. H. A. Drake (email: drake@humanitas.ucsb.edu). There are significant strengths in the Classical world in other departments.

MA/Ph.D. in Classics: Emphasis in Ancient History
These interdisciplinary degrees involve significant coursework in the History Department, and are designed for those students who wish their training to emphasize ancient history, without sacrificing the classical languages. The course of study combines graduate courses in Greek and Latin with research seminars in ancient history, and allows students to choose a major and a minor language. Scholars who graduate from this program should be equally at home teaching in a Classics or History Department.
