From Classics MA to Ancient History PhD?

[hekebolos]

Salvete,

I'm currently working on a Classics MA, but I've reached a crossroads of sorts. While I still want to study Antiquity, I feel as though I would rather pursue an Ancient History PhD instead of continuing down the Classics path. However, I was wondering whether having a Classics MA-- instead of an Ancient History MA-- would put me at a disadvantage in the application process. Or conversely, will the fact that I've done extensive work with both Latin and Greek help distinguish me amidst other applicants? I've also considered that it's essentially a non-issue, and that admissions committees are more or less ambivalent about Classics vs. Ancient History MAs.

Of course, I would appreciate any feedback.
