Application information

Entry requirements

Application fee; Resume/CV; Personal statement; Official TOEFL, IELTS, or Duolingo English Test scores, if applicable; Transcripts; Three letters of recommendation; Writing sample: While each application is evaluated holistically, an important part of a successful application is the writing sample. The ideal writing sample should best demonstrate your writing skills and the ability to engage critically with the cultures, histories, and literatures of the ancient Mediterranean world, though it does not necessarily need to be a paper written specifically for a Classics course. The ideal length is approximately 15 double-spaced pages.

Tuition is charged per credit, so the total depends on the modules you register for each year. Current fees are listed in the official fee schedule.

Intake: Fall, Spring

Duration: 2 years (30 credits)
