The SCS has learned from Anatole Mori that the Department of Ancient Mediterranean Studies Graduate Program at the University of Missouri will not be discontinued.

Here is her full statement:

"The Department of Ancient Mediterranean Studies at the University of Missouri is pleased to announce the Chancellor’s decision to continue our interdisciplinary graduate program. In 2017 archaeology faculty from the Department of Art History and Archaeology joined the Classics faculty from the Department of Classical Studies to form the new Department of Ancient Mediterranean Studies. Like dozens of other graduate programs at the University of Missouri, the MA and PhD at AMS were threatened with possible inactivation after a review by the Task Force on Academic Program Analysis, Enhancement and Opportunities. Information about the results of the program review are now available at:
Thank you to all Classicists who made an effort toward saving this program, including the advocacy efforts of CAMWS and the SCS Classics Advisory Service.
