AfricanusCrowther Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 If you use the search function, you might find an old list that someone compiled years ago. Hey Mods, could this be updated and pinned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IGoToWar Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 (edited) I personally had a good experience in the University of Chicago's MAPSS Program. I'm not familiar with Mesopotamian history, but I can say they have a great history department in general. MAPSS has a history of providing good funding, often from 50% all the way to 100% tuition. For me, it has acted as a stepping stone to some great PhD offers this application cycle, so if you are interested in going on to the PhD but need more training, this is a good option to consider. However, you may want to work on improving the verbal component of the GRE before applying.

I'd place it with Harvard and Yale, that's how good it is. A 100% funded MAPPS wouldn't be a bad way to go, provided @Mehak is willing to push him/herself to learn whatever additional languages s/he needs. I know Indiana Univ. has a MA program in ANE languages and cultures. Maybe looking there would be beneficial. Just like with ancient history, the job market for ANE is very limited, so attending a top-tier program is non-negotiable.

Work on improving your verbal score on the GRE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
