While grounded in antiquity, classical studies is a dynamic and ever-changing field. Our master of arts program offers an immersive exploration of ancient Greek and Roman languages, literature, art, archaeology, religion, philosophy, and history. You can enrich your academic journey through fieldwork or research opportunities in destinations like Italy, Israel, or Crete, supported by our substantial funding options.
Beyond financial assistance, we provide merit-based teaching assistantships that reduce graduate education costs while offering valuable teaching experience. This prepares you for careers in education across various disciplines or for advanced doctoral studies.
Our distinctive program features two specialized tracks: Ancient Greek and Roman Civilizations, and Greek and Latin Languages and Literatures. With Brandeis' dedication to exceptional, student-focused instruction, you'll benefit from personalized guidance by leading scholars in the field.
Alongside working with our on-campus Classical Studies Artifact Research Collection (comprising 800 pieces), you'll have access to world-class cultural institutions in nearby Boston and Cambridge, including the Museum of Fine Arts, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Harvard University museums, and the Museum of Science.
