The option in Greek or Latin is earned with a concentration in one of the classical languages, but students concentrating in one language typically take some work in the other. Work for the option in classics is approximately evenly divided between Greek and Latin.

Programs of study are arranged in consultation with two advisers, at least one of whom is a member of the Department of Classics, and are composed from graduate courses in Latin, Greek, classics, history, art history, religion, philosophy, and English. Ideally, the design of the Program is not random but reflects in part the student's specialized interests or helps to prepare the student for a field of specialization related to the classics.

Several graduate teaching fellowships are available each year for entering graduate students.

The deadline for the admission application is March 1.
