REQUIREMENTS FOR THE MAJOR
Each student, after consultation with the Representative for Barnard, chooses an adviser whose field is closely related to her own and with whom she will do her senior reading. The programs of all the students are reviewed by the Ancient Studies Committee in order to maintain control and a sense of collective enterprise.
A total of 36 points are required in the major, including at least four courses in one geographical area or period; courses in at least three departments (to ensure proper interdisciplinary training and experience); the elementary sequence of a relevant ancient language; the appropriate history course; and at least the first semester of ANCS V 3998, V 3999.
In some cases, a senior seminar in one of the departments or ANCS V 3995 may be substituted for ANCS V 3998, V 3999. Ancient language courses may be used toward the major requirement; however, where a second ancient language is offered, one second-year sequence must be offered for a student to gain credit for the first year.
No minor is offered in Ancient Studies.
