THE PROGRAM

The Graduate Program in Classics offers instruction leading to the M.A. and the Ph.D. degree. Members of the faculty also participate in the Ph.D. Program in History, which offers a Ph.D. in history with a specialization in ancient history. For further information about these programs see the entries under History.

Graduate study in classics at the City University is offered in consortium with the graduate departments of classics of New York University and Fordham University. CUNY students may register for courses given at any one of these institutions. The libraries and facilities of these universities are available to students enrolled in this consortium.

In its course offerings the Graduate Program in Classics emphasizes the study of Greek and Latin literature and intellectual history. Study is also available in such related areas as Greek and Roman social and political history and philosophy.

En-route M.A.

Upon completing 45 credits with an average grade of B, passing the First Examination, and satisfactorily completing a major research paper, a doctoral student may apply for an en-route M.A. degree. Those seeking an en-route master’s degree should have the Executive Officer initiate the appropriate action.

Summer Latin/Greek Institute

The Graduate Center is the location of the Latin/Greek Institute, an intensive 11-week summer program in which highly motivated students study either Classical Greek or Latin; for this program no prior knowledge of the language to be studied is assumed. The attention of students in allied fields (e.g., comparative literature, English, history, theatre, philosophy) is particularly directed to this program available at the Graduate Center.
