古典研究文学硕士课程为期16个月，通过课程学习完成
The Master of Arts in Classical Studies is a 16-month program fulfilled through course-work, a modern language exam and either a Major Research Paper or a Thesis. Courses emphasize research techniques as well as ensuring a sound knowledge of primary sources. Those undertaking the Major Research Paper complete six (6) graduate courses, while those undertaking the Thesis option take four (4) graduate courses. The program may be taken with no ancient language courses to facilitate entry into programs of different study, or the program may be taken with ancient language courses for those who wish to continue their studies in Classics. For the latter students they should take one graduate level Greek course and one graduate level Latin course. All students must take the research methodology course. The Department of Classical Studies works together with the Waterloo Institute for Hellenistic Studies, a combination which creates a unique and intense research environment for faculty and students. Students receive substantial individual attention from an expert in their subject(s) of specialization and benefit from an interdisciplinary approach. With regular guest speakers, research days, and colloquia, which bring together our international partners, the Department of Classical Studies at the University of Waterloo offers a unique and full experience for graduate students. The department promotes international experiences for students through travel awards, course offerings, and research opportunities.
