Welcome to Ancient Studies at UMBC!

Students expand the boundaries of their world and develop a sense of the importance of the past as they examine the origins of western civilization. The basis of humanistic learning, attitudes, and values in the western world is in the civilizations of the ancient Mediterranean world. Students majoring in Ancient Studies will take a balanced group of courses that investigate the ancient world through the disciplines of language and literature, history and archaeology.

We hope you enjoy the new Ancient Studies website. We are still working out a few last details, so some pages are under construction. If you have any suggestions or comments, please email our student assistant Sandi Gammon.
