US Universities With The Best Classical Studies/history Departments


Recommended Posts

Anyone know where I can find a list that I can use for further inquiries?

 

I've been googling but I only get individual universities.

 

This shows 176 university undergrad classical studies departments in the US: http://www.users.drew.edu/jmuccigr/ug.html

 

I'm sure for the most part most of what are considered 'the best' departments generally line up with general rep of that particular school. You can just use the USNEWs rankings site to get that magazines opinion on that.

I was stumbling around the AHA site on a completely different matter and came across this...

 

History PhD programs in the US and Canada

 

This has to be purchased but could be quite valuable. I'm thinking it would come in quite handy to have around here anyway.

FWIW, when choosing a grad school, you should keep in mind what your specialization will be (e.g., late Roman republic) and who the world experts are in that field. Ultimately, the quality of your grad school mentor is as important (if not more so) than the institution where you intend to do your work. It's entirely possible to go to a great school and burn out because you have no interest in the topics that interest your advisor and/or because your advisor's approach is so hopelessly dated/flawed/boring that you're not marketable in an academic job market.
