Career Options
What kind of career and education options will you have? Courses offered in the master's degree program investigate the ancient classical world both locally in the domain of one country (such as Greece and Italy) and more regionally (such as the Mediterranean as a whole).
We have developed relationships with excavations in Italy and Greece, so that teachers may participate in such fieldwork as part of their work toward the master's degree. The chance to do research in our Classical Artifact Research Collection, to study on the Bay of Naples in the summer, and to obtain personal excavation experience awaits students of the master's degree program.
The master's degree can be used as a stepping stone to a PhD program in classical studies, ancient history or a variety of other fields. The degree can also serve for job enhancement for a teacher, librarian or for any number of other careers.
