Ancient Mediterranean Civilizations

An 18 credit program available to undergraduate students from any major. The undergraduate Minor in Ancient Mediterranean Civilizations examines the cultures and societies of the ancient Mediterranean region, broadly understood to include the major cultures of the Near East and Egypt as well as Greece and Rome, with special emphasis on institutions and society.  Students in the program take two introductory courses selected from Greek and Roman history or art history surveys, or introductions to the Western humanities and to classical archaeology (most of these introductory courses may be counted toward General Education requirements for all MSU students), and continue with four upper-level courses in the history and culture of ancient Mediterranean and Near Eastern civilizations, including one course on an archaeological topic.
