Ancient World Minor

The Ancient World Studies minor focuses on the shared and overlapping periods in the development of cultures and civilizations around the Mediterranean basin, in the Near East, and across central Asia to the Pacific Ocean.

Abu Dhabi’s location at the center of this geographical expanse makes it an ideal location for exploring the intellectual and material riches of the recent and deep past. This minor encompasses a number of disciplines, including archaeology, art history, history, literature, and philosophy.
