For
a Major in Ancient Studies
Courses:
36
points, to include at least four courses in one geographical area
or period, and to include courses in at least three departments
(to ensure proper interdisciplinary training and experience),
the elementary sequence of a relevant ancient language, and the

sequence in one of those languages.
