Tracks

The Classics Department offers three tracks to complete a master's degree in the classics.

MA in Classics: Students in this program usually have an undergraduate degree in Classical Studies or a related discipline, and typically complete the degree in two to three years.
MA in Classics One-Year Program: Designed for students with an undergraduate degree in classics and a high level of experience in Greek and Latin, the MA in Classics One-Year Program offers the advantage of a compressed timeline as well as the flexibility of summer work.
MA in Classics with Integrated Post-bacc: A three-year program, the MA in Classics with Integrated Post-bacc is geared toward students who started classics late in their undergraduate career or did not have the opportunity to master Greek and Latin and other areas of classics.

Additionally, students interested in teaching may pursue the MA in Classics with Teaching Licensure.
