Department of Classics (GRAD)

Graduate work in the Department of Classics is primarily designed to meet the needs of students who intend by intensive study and research to specialize in classics. The M.A. prepares especially for teaching at the secondary level; the Ph.D., for research and teaching at the university level.

The University is a contributing member of the American Academy in Rome, the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, the American Schools of Oriental Research, and the American Research Institute in Turkey. There are thus numerous opportunities for study and archaeological fieldwork and research.

The degree of master of arts is offered with a concentration in Greek and Latin or classical archaeology. The degree of doctor of philosophy is offered with a concentration in Greek and Latin, classics with historical emphasis, classical archaeology, or classical and medieval Latin. A minor in related departments may be permitted on application. Students may broaden their program by taking supporting work in related languages or literatures or in art, history, linguistics, philosophy, religious studies, or women's and gender studies.

A detailed description of the requirements for the specific graduate degree programs in the Department of Classics may be found on the department's website.

Following the faculty member's name is a section number that students should use when registering for independent studies, reading, research, and thesis and dissertation courses with that particular professor.
