Hi all! I'm currently junior in undergrad and I'm beginning to take a look at PhD programs to apply to next fall! I'm very interested in Bronze Age archaeology, especially focusing on the Bronze Age Aegean. I know that the job market is incredibly frustrating and difficult to navigate at the moment so I'm trying to take a look at the best possible programs for this subject area. I know that the placement for certain schools is much better than others in terms of Classical Archaeology, but there isn't that much information on job outcomes for this specific subfield. It seems University of Cincinnati is pretty well regarded, and UPenn's Art and Archaeology of the Ancient Mediterranean also seems strong. The NRC rankings seem to be a little outdated and aren't very specific, so I would love to get this forum's perspective!
How Much Language Experience is Needed for MA Funding?

Hi all!
I'm currently a rising undergrad senior who is looking to get a PhD in Classical Archaeology, primarily specializing in the Bronze Age Aegean; however, by the time I apply to graduate schools, I'll only be on my third year of Latin and my first year of Greek. Because I want to increase my chances for admission to a top program, I probably want to first go to a funded MA or post-bacc to both improve my languages and get more coursework. To get for an MA program, would 3/1 years of Latin/Greek be enough to secure funding? Or would post-bacc to PhD be a better path? Thanks!
