I know ANE/Assyriology/Hebrew bible is technically not classics, but there is no ANE option so this is the closest category I could find. So I did not decide I wanted to research the ancient world until my third year of my undergrad. Moreover, while my undergrad college was a large, state university, it did not offer a single class in ancient languages. As a result, I am currently in what I consider for myself a "stepping stone" MA at a seminary where I will finish with roughly 5-6 semesters in classical Hebrew and 2 semesters in New Testament Greek. Along with this, I have a History BA, with 4 semesters of German. According to almost all of the ANE studies/history programs, I meet the limited requirements. So I am asking any of you who have been in or are currently enrolled in graduate ANE programs: is this enough? Here's a quick break down: 3 years equivalency in classical Hebrew 1 year equivalency in NT Greek 2 year equivalency in German 4 year (high school level experience) in Spanish HIstory BA 3.72 GPA 3.98 Major GPA Bible MA (one year left) Letters or Rec from OT scholars and historian Above average GRE score Thanks for reading and please be honest!
