Ancient and Medieval Art and Archaeology

The CNES program in Ancient and Medieval Art and Archaeology (M.A. or Ph.D.) is not accepting applications for the foreseeable future.

Students interested in ancient art and archaeology, especially of the late antique period, may wish to consider Minnesota's Art History program; Professor Matthew Canepa works in late antique imperial Roman and Persian studies and works with faculty in CNES.
