Overview
Graduate courses and advanced seminars are given regularly on the following subjects:
- Greek and Latin linguistics
- Greek and Latin literature (focusing on both individual authors and literary genres; for a reading list, see the Classics website)
- The philosophy, intellectual history, and critical theory of the ancient world
- The technical discipline of classical philology (paleography, textual criticism, epigraphy, papyrology, numismatics)
Students from Classics program from Columbia University may also take courses in ancient history or ancient art and archaeology (given in the Departments of History and the Department of Art History and Archaeology), but students whose primary interest is in ancient history or ancient art and archaeology should apply to those programs.
Students admitted to the doctoral program earn the MA by specializing in either Greek or Latin, then complete the MPhil in Classics, entailing study of both languages and their literatures. Students must also demonstrate reading knowledge of a modern language.
Teaching, Research, and Funding
Teaching and research experience are important aspects of graduate training and professional development, and graduate fellowships thus include some teaching and both supervised and independent research. All Classics doctoral students receive a full funding package, which includes both the cost of tuition and a stipend.
