MA in Classics in Lexington United States | University of Kentucky

Requirements for admission to the Program in Classics are: An undergraduate grade point average of 3.0 or above on a 4.0 scale. A combined score of 1000 (old scoring) / 297 (new scoring) on the verbal and quantitative parts of the Graduate Record Examination. The Director of Graduate Studies may admit students with undergraduate grade point average below 3.0 or lower GRE scores on the basis of a student's last two years of work, grades in Classics, or general academic competence. An undergraduate major in Classics, Latin, or Greek is not required for admission, but the Program suggests that entering students should have completed at least six semesters of either Latin or Greek and four semesters of the other language. Students lacking sufficient preparation in one of the classical languages may be required to remedy such deficiencies by taking undergraduate courses. (It is possible, but not guaranteed that a student may receive credit for one graduate course upon the successful completion of two undergraduate classes. Such a credit would apply to one course only.)
