The University of Florida's Classics Department provides three graduate programs in Latin: an M.A. in Latin, an M.A.T. in Latin, and a Master of Latin degree. After their first year, students must establish Florida residency. The Master of Arts in Teaching Latin (M.A.T.) is ideal for aspiring educators, incorporating pedagogical coursework into the curriculum. This program does not require a thesis.
Students must have a recognized baccalaureate, graduate or professional degree from a regionally accredited U.S. institution or a comparable degree from an international institution. For applicants with a bachelor’s degree only, a minimum grade point average of B (3.0), calculated from all grades and credits after the semester where the applicant reached 60 semester hours or 90 quarter hours and Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores that are acceptable to the applicant’s intended academic unit or, for select programs, at least 465 on the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT).
For applicants from countries (including Puerto Rico) where English is not the official language, a minimum score on one of these English Language Skills tests: Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL): 550 paper, or 80 Internet; International English Language Testing System (IELTS): 6; Michigan English Language Assessment Battery (MELAB): 77, or documented successful completion of the University of Florida English Language Institute program.
