Admission Requirement / Eligibility Criteria

Admission to the Program

The ideal applicant to the Master of Arts in Classics program is someone with

an undergraduate major in classics (or equivalent learning experience); and
sufficient proficiency in both Latin and Greek to take graduate seminars in those languages.

The Graduate Division also requires that applicants have a minimum 3.0 undergraduate GPA. The department does admit students who have less than the ideal preparation described above; in those cases, the applicant is admitted conditionally (subject to meeting certain conditions for progress through the program).

Applicants must take the GRE, complete the online application to the graduate program, and submit directly to the department a two to three-page statement of purpose, an eight to ten-page writing sample, and one letter of recommendation (sent directly by the recommender).
