Graduate Programs in Classics
The Department of Classics at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill combines strengths in traditional philology, archaeology and material culture, and more recent critical approaches in a way that allows graduate students to gain a broad, rich, and interdisciplinary understanding of the ancient Greek and Roman worlds. It offers graduate programs leading to the Ph.D. in Classics, Classics with Historical Emphasis, Classical Archaeology, and Classical and Medieval Latin.
There are various graduate degree programs and options available within the Department of Classics, each with specific departmental requirements. Please note that the Graduate School at UNC has requirements for graduate students of its own, largely related to residency, registration, and application for candidacy for a degree. The department tries to bring these to our students' attention, but ultimately it is the student's responsibility to see that all such requirements are satisfied. All students should be sure to carefully read both the Record of the Graduate School and the Graduate School Handbook. Please pay special attention to the calendar of deadlines, the account of degree requirements, and the statement of general regulations.
The University is committed to equality of educational opportunity. It is the policy of the University and of the Department of Classics not to discriminate against applicants, students, or employees on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age, sexual orientation, or handicap. Such discrimination is in most cases also prohibited by federal law. Any complaints alleging failure of this institution to follow this policy should be brought to the attention of the University’s Affirmative Action Officer at (919) 966-3576.
