BA in Archaeology & Classics

The Archaeology and Classics program at The American University of Rome presents students with the unique opportunity to combine their studies with the source material: the city itself. A rigorous academic program is paired with hands-on learning through participation in excavations and unprecedented access to Rome’s ancient sites and artefacts. Few other courses in this field allow students such intimate interaction with their subject.

This degree program covers all aspects of the ancient Mediterranean, beginning with the earliest foundations of Western civilization and the languages, cultures and societies that it produced, leading right up to the present day, considering contemporary issues surrounding Archaeology and Cultural Heritage Management and exploring the influence of Classics on popular culture.
