The Classics Department at the University of Arizona in Tucson would like to
introduce you to our Classics M.A. program, which has enjoyed remarkable
growth since its inception in the 1980s and continues to expand. It is now
regarded as one of the premier M.A. programs in the United States. To
complement its well-established program in Classical Archaeology and
Classical Philology, the University of Arizona has recently implemented M.A.
degree tracks in Ancient History and Latin Pedagogy.
* Students may emphasize Classical Philology, Classical Archaeology, Ancient
History, or Latin Pedagogy. For specific program requirements, please visit
our website, http://www.coh.arizona.edu/classics/default.html, and click on
Graduate Program.
* Qualified Graduate Teaching Assistants may teach their own sections in our
Basic Latin and Summer Intensive Latin Programs. Qualified students may also
serve as Graduate Teaching Assistants in the Modern Greek Program.
* M.A. students are encouraged to participate in summer fieldwork directed
by departmental faculty in Italy, Greece, Tunisia, and Egypt.
* Our graduates have gone on to top ranked Ph.D. programs in both Classical
Archaeology and Classical Philology. Graduates whose emphasis is Latin
Pedagogy have taken appointments in secondary schools and community colleges
throughout the country.
* A number of Graduate Fellowships, Teaching and Research Assistantships, as
well as waivers of tuition and fees, are available.
The Department of Classics normally has about twenty-five graduate students
in residence. These students enjoy the breathtaking beauty of Tucson and its
surrounding mountain ranges, its benign desert climate ("it's a dry heat"),
and a relatively low cost of living. Interested students are invited to
visit the department, or to contact any of our faculty or student
representatives.
Applications for fall 2007 are due February 15; the deadline for
international students is January 15. For more information, please get in
touch directly with Professor David Christenson, Director of Graduate
Studies (christed AT email.arizona.edu / 520-621-5326).
