PhD in Classical Languages

The Department offers two PhDs in Classics, one in Classical Languages and the other in Classical Archaeology. In each route, the specific courses that need to be taken and the length of the program depend to some extent on the student’s previous training and on the particular requirements for the chosen area of specialization.

The PhD in Classical Languages is a broad-based program leading to a general qualification in Classics. Students are encouraged to explore all aspects of the ancient Greek and Roman cultures in courses, preparation for comprehensive exams, and the thesis.
