Our students have won numerous competitive scholarships and other awards and have gone on to excellent jobs in many careers, including teaching at the primary and secondary school levels, and to Ph.D. programs at prestigious universities. The Department of Classics has worked hard to create graduate programs that are attractive to students with varying goals and effective in helping them to further their career objectives. The M.A. program provides students with a firm grounding in the classical world, with particular emphasis on the linguistic, historical, archaeological and interpretative skills necessary for engaging it. The program draws candidates from all over the United States and generally enrolls 12-15 students during the academic year and an additional 12-15 in our Summer Institute, a program designed for high school Latin teachers who want to earn an M.A. in Latin during the summers.
