Some majors pursue careers in business, law, government, publishing, and the arts. Many CAMS majors proceed to graduate school in Classics or in such disciplines as archaeology, art history, conservation and museum studies, comparative literature, history, law, theology, and religious studies. Graduate work is normally required for teaching and research at a college or university or for museum and library work. Students may choose to combine continued graduate work in CAMS disciplines with graduate technical education--for example: a master's program in classics and a master's program in information/library science, archive, or museum studies.
