The Classics Department provides graduate programs culminating in a Master of Arts degree, allowing students to focus on Greek and Latin languages and literature, ancient and pre-classical archaeology, or Greek and Roman history. Since these classical fields are interconnected, students must complete foundational coursework across all major disciplines.
The curriculum is comprehensive, typically featuring at least eight courses per semester. Subjects span from Bronze Age Greece to late Roman civilization, covering works from Homer to later Latin texts. Cross-disciplinary study is encouraged—history or philosophy students may enroll in relevant courses from those departments, while archaeology students can explore specialized anthropology classes. Philology students have the option to study Romance or Germanic languages or take English Department courses. Additionally, Hebrew Union College offers complementary Near Eastern studies courses.

Qualification Requirements
GRE score submission is optional
Applicants to any of the graduate programs need a Bachelor of Arts degree from an accredited college. An undergraduate major in Classics, Classical Studies, Greek or Latin, Ancient History, or Archaeology or its equivalent is necessary for admission.
Without setting down hard and fast minimum requirements, the Classics Department will judge candidates partly on their competence in Classical Greek and Latin. At least two year's study in both languages is ordinarily required for students applying to the doctoral programs or to masters programs intended to lead to the doctorate. Undergraduate study of French and German is also strongly advised.
Graduate Record Examination (GRE) results are welcome, but not required.
Applicants should be able to engage successfully in graduate study, to teach and/or carry out related professional activities, and to think critically and write persuasively on a subject or in a genre appropriate to the program to which they are seeking admission. (Letters of recommendation, especially those from academic faculty, should address these issues.)
Applicants should have professional goals and plans consistent with the programs of study available in the Department. (The applicant's statement of purpose and application should help to demonstrate this.)

In-person and at-home online exam scores accepted TOEFL Essentials and My Best Test scores are not accepted.
