Program Requirements
As far as possible, IPCAA is designed to encourage students,
from the start, to pursue their own research interests and
goals. This is matched, however, by the need to ensure that
students receive the broad and well-balanced training which
is an essential prerequisite for undertaking doctoral-level
research and for subsequent success in professional placement.
Consequently, certain formal requirements are part of IPCAA
expectations.
In brief, students are required:
- to enroll in an introductory one-credit
Proseminar in Classical Archaeology in the Fall semester
of their first year
- to adhere to a regular course-load of
four courses per semester (three courses in semesters when
a student is teaching)
- to take at least one graduate-level course
in each of five broad areas in Mediterranean archaeology,
as well as two courses in ancient history
- to demonstrate proficiency in two ancient
languages (Greek and Latin) and two modern ones (French
and German)
- to pass a diagnostic examination in ancient
history upon entry into the program
- to complete successfully two sets of archaeological
examinations: the Qualifying Exams (normally taken at the
end of the second year) and the Preliminary Exams (normally
taken before the end of the third year)
- to conceive of an original and viable
doctoral dissertation topic; to choose a dissertation chair
and form a dissertation committee; and to report periodically
to the IPCAA Excecutive Committee on progress towards completion.

regulations governing the Program are provided in the IPCAA
Handbook.
