I’m posting a listing of places with graduate programs that cover ancient philosophy (in alphabetical order, sorted by region). The aim is to provide a general directory of places that are either local or international hubs for ancient philosophy. I am including non-anglophone programs with international connections. I think this will be useful for prospective graduate students (though inclusion on this list does not represent an endorsement: there are many further factors prospective students should consider) and for scholars looking for possible collaborators or thinking about people to invite. I want to include any program that has multiple faculty members working in ancient philosophy and often has ancient philosophy reading groups, talks, workshops etc. Students may also be interested in my listing specifically of Master’s programs in ancient philosophy. This listing is still missing many programs outside the English-speaking world, so suggestions are welcome. I’m glad to make additions or corrections to the list: just leave a comment or send me an email.
