University of California Berkeley
Doctor of Philosophy in Ancient History and Mediterranean Archaeology
The Doctor of Philosophy in Ancient History and Mediterranean Archaeology in History is offered by University of California Berkeley.
The interdisciplinary program of graduate study in Ancient History and Ancient Near Eastern and Mediterranean Archaeology (AHMA) is conducted by a group that includes more than 20 faculty members affiliated with seven different Berkeley departments as well as the Graduate Theological Union. A chair, a graduate adviser, and student affairs officer administer the program.
The AHMA program offers PhD degrees in areas that combine work in archaeology and history and related disciplines of ancient studies.
Most graduates have successfully secured teaching positions in Departments of Classics, Art History, History, Anthropology or Near Eastern Studies in colleges and universities in the US or abroad, including Bar-Ilan, Haifa, Volos, Oxford, Toronto, Columbia, Madison, Austin, and Pennsylvania.
Students who enter this program are not admitted to work specifically for the MA degree. They may, however, apply for the MA degree upon fulfillment of requirements for Stage 1.
