Options include ancient history, ancient philosophy and classical archaeology, among others. Ancient history can be pursued in either classics or history, and aims to train both historians and classicists. Ancient philosophy is run jointly with the philosophy field, preparing scholars and teachers who are also broadly trained in classics and philosophy. The program is in person in Ithaca, with at least ten semesters for the degree.
