RU Classics focuses on the interpretation of original texts in Greek and Latin in the context of the general humanistic tradition. Our graduate students master the philological methods of the discipline and become familiar with the methods of such related fields as literary theory, ancient history, philosophy, and ancient art history. Full-time students generally finish the M.A. track in two years, candidates for the Ph.D. on average take an additional three years. We are particularly proud of the fact that each of our PhD recipients in the past eight years has finished briskly (average 5.5 years) and each holds a continuing academic position. We also have a strong record of job placement in leading secondary schools for our master's degree recipients. In addition, for six successive years our graduate students have been awarded an associate membership at the American School of Classics Studies at Athens. Two of our recent graduates have had their theses published as is by prominent American academic presses.
