Why study Ancient History/History?

The Ancient History/History major gives students the opportunity to sample a range of courses on both the ancient and modern world. Students will develop a well-founded knowledge of selected historical periods, topics, research methods, and forms of historical communication. Ancient History courses focus on societies of the Ancient Mediterranean, particularly the cultures of Greece and Rome, though the study of politics and warfare, social customs, religion, literature and mythology, art and architecture. Given the important and enduring influence of ancient ideas and institutions today, studying ancient history provides a basis for a deeper understanding of modern society. Modern History courses cover the history of the medieval world, early modern and modern Europe, USA, Asia, the Middle East, and Australia. These courses encourage students to interrogate critically the different forces which have helped to shape the lives and institutions of modern societies and cultures.
