Available here, in addition to a statement of degree requirements, is the reading list for the degree and a supplementary reading list for historical background. The M.A. in Classics requires ten courses (30 credits) in Greek and Latin at the graduate level, completion of an independent reading list, demonstration of proficiency in a modern foreign language, usually French or German, and comprehensive written and oral examinations. Six - advanced language courses a year are normally available to graduate students. Additional courses may be available through the Boston-area consortium and (with departmental permission) classical civilization courses may be taken at BC. Students are encouraged to develop a seminar paper into a conference paper for presentation.
