Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Classical and Mediterranean Studies] From Vanderbilt University

The Program in Classical and Mediterranean Studies offers students an interdisciplinary perspective on the culture and history of a region that has been at the crossroads of civilization since antiquity. The study of the Mediterranean world examines the influential achievements and legacy of the Greeks and Romans alongside the emergence and spread of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam to the East. It also explores the premodern-to-modern development of southern Europe, North Africa, and western Asia, which have variously responded to the ancient and medieval past.
