Applicants are normally required to hold a BA and MA degree in one of the several areas of ancient Greek and Roman Studies, and are expected to have focused experience in the area relevant to their intended topic of research and appropriate command of the ancient languages of Greek and Latin. Students will be evaluated in accordance with these criteria on a case-by-case basis at admission by the Departmental Graduate Committee. Students entering the PhD Program with an MA may, if deficient in some respect, be required to take and pass with at least a B+ (6.0) one or more of the courses prescribed for the University of Victoria MA in Greek and Roman Studies while enrolled in the PhD program.

Normally there will be one entry point in the academic year, in September. Applicants will normally be expected to have achieved a minimum GPA of 7.0 (or equivalent) in their Master's program, to have strong letters of reference, to present a clear statement of research interests, and to submit an example of scholarly work. All applications will be reviewed by the Departmental Graduate Committee (chaired by the Graduate Advisor) and students will only be accepted into the program if there is at least one faculty member able, interested, and available to supervise the proposed topic of research.
