Minor Requirements
This program offers a Ph.D. Minor only; all doctoral students at IU must complete a minor subject outside their home department. Those interested in the Program therefore must already be accepted into a doctoral-degree unit of the University Graduate School, and they should discuss the outside minor with the Director of Graduate Studies in their home department as soon as possible. Students also file an Ancient Studies Outside Minor Declaration Form with the Program Director. Please contact the Program Director (Edward Watts, Department of History: phone (812) 855-8654; email), whose office is Ballantine Hall 842 and who normally serves as the student’s minor advisor. When the student has completed the requirements for the minor, he or she should ask the Director of Ancient Studies to send a letter to that effect to the Director of Graduate Studies in the home department for the student’s file.
Course Requirements
Students must complete twelve (12) graduate credit hours of appropriate courses outside their home department. These courses must be in at least two (2) different departments. No more than three (3) credit hours of directed readings can be applied to the minor. No more than six (6) credit hours of language study may count toward the minor, all of which must be above the elementary level. The minor advisor must approve the particular courses that are to be counted toward the minor.
Grades
Courses in which a student receives less than a B (3.0) will not count toward the minor.
