Joukowsky Institute for Archaeology and the Ancient World
Academics
The goal of the Joukowsky Institute is to foster an interdisciplinary community of interest in archaeology and the ancient world. Rhode Island Hall's classrooms and study spaces are an academic home for the undergraduate and graduate programs in Archaeology and the Ancient World, as well as for many of Brown University's courses in archaeology, the ancient world, and a wide range of complementary subjects.

This page shows the Archaeology and the Ancient World courses planned for the current academic year, including cross-listed courses taught in other programs at Brown.
The undergraduate concentration in Archaeology and the Ancient World provides students with the opportunity to explore the multi-faceted discipline of archaeology while examining the critical early civilizations of the so-called “Old World” — that is, the complex societies of the Mediterranean (not least Greece and Rome), Egypt, and the ancient Near East.
The Joukowsky Institute’s graduate programs in Archaeology and the Ancient World combine a flexible interdisciplinary atmosphere with a curricular structure that prepares students for professional careers in teaching, museum studies, government and nonprofit organizations, or other relevant occupations.
