Is it possible to study ancient Roman history withen a history department and get a degree.?
Can one study Roman history in a history department rather then Classics department??? I can’t seem to find a school that has Ancient Roman or any ancient history as a curriculum. Any ancient history seems to be in the classics department. Am I looking at the wrong schools or is there not such degree as Roman history or ancient history outside the classics department.
As you are (probably) American, and I am not, I cannot really give you 100% accurate advice. What universities offer in the history department varies greatly per university. The best thing you can do is inquire at your preferred universities, and go from there. Suppose your university only offers courses in the Classics department, ask them which university offers courses in the history department, and at what level/detail. They should know.
Good luck!
depends on the department
some are bigger than others and have more courses and make it easier to specialize
