The Bridge MA program aims to assist gifted scholars in Classics while promoting diversity within the field. Each year, one student receives full fellowship funding. Participants collaborate closely with Classics faculty and doctoral candidates while pursuing their own research projects. This fellowship is designed for individuals holding a bachelor's degree who are considering advanced studies in Classics or similar fields. Both graduating seniors and recent graduates are encouraged to apply. Applications for the upcoming academic year must be submitted by March 1. The program provides financial support for two summers and two semesters, beginning with summer enrollment in early June. On-campus housing is available during the initial summer term (early June to mid-August). Outstanding participants showing strong potential for doctoral work may be offered admission to the Ph.D. program after completing their second semester.
