Each year, the Interdepartmental Program in Classical Art and Archaeology (IPCAA) recruits and invites new students into its program. The Kelsey Museum benefits greatly from the IPCAA program and the students’ contributions to the research, teaching, and fieldwork programs that are integral to the Museum’s mission. The program currently includes over 25 students.

The Interdepartmental Program in Classical Art and Archaeology (IPCAA) offers a program of doctoral study in the arts and material culture of the ancient Mediterranean and Near Eastern worlds. Formally sponsored by the Departments of Classical Studies and History of Art, and located in the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology, IPCAA draws on a distinguished range of faculty in several disciplines and on the rich museum and library resources of the University of Michigan. With its self-consciously interdisciplinary character, IPCAA is today widely acknowledged as among the very top programs in the country for the professional training of graduate students in Classical Archaeology.
