MA Egyptian Art and Archaeology

In the Egyptian art and archaeology concentration, students immerse themselves in the millennia-long cultural history of ancient Egypt spanning the time from its formative state formation in the predynastic period to the era of Roman rule. Through rigorous academic study under the guidance of a distinguished faculty of Egyptologists, students learn how to critically assess and contextualize ancient Egyptian art while acquiring proficiency in Middle Egyptian language and texts enabling them to directly access primary sources and to conduct in-depth research in order to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the culture.
