Understanding classical antiquity deeply allows you to recognize Greek and Roman influences throughout modern life. These ancient reverberations surround us constantly, evident in contemporary language structures to Detroit's architectural designs. Wayne State's Classics MA program provides specialized courses in antiquity studies, equipping students for advanced doctoral work or diverse career paths such as law, medicine, archival work, and beyond.
While most program applicants hold bachelor's degrees in classics, we encourage those seeking graduate-level preparation or careers in classical studies and related disciplines. Our alumni have secured teaching positions at secondary and higher education levels, gained entry to elite doctoral programs, and pursued successful careers beyond classical academia.
