The Post-Baccalaureate program at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is designed to provide a flexible program of study for students who have an undergraduate degree and who wish to continue the study of Classics for their own education or to prepare themselves for a graduate program. Students in the program take the specific courses in Latin, Greek, or archaeology that are appropriate to their level of ability and training. Students should consider the UNC Post-Baccalaureate program if:
• They want to prepare themselves to teach Latin, Greek, classical archaeology, or ancient history by undertaking graduate study but have had only a limited number of courses in Greek or Latin as an undergraduate student.
• They wish to work in classical archaeology, ancient history, or some related field but do not have enough Latin or Greek to be competitive in applying to Ph.D. programs.
• They wish to study Latin or Greek (or both) for their personal intellectual growth and satisfaction.
Please note that this program is not a graduate program, and admission to the Post-Baccalaureate program does not constitute admission to the Graduate School of the University of North Carolina. Successful completion of the Post-Baccalaureate program does not guarantee admission to the Graduate School of the University of North Carolina nor to any other graduate program.
All Post-Baccalaureate students are considered full members of the Classics community. They will have a mailbox and access to the Department’s library and computer lab. They may use the facilities of both the House Undergraduate Library and Davis Graduate Library. All students will be encouraged to take full part in the intellectual life of the Department. They have in the past attended the Proseminar, an introduction to the subfields of Classical Studies which meets regularly during the fall, but this practice is under review for 2008-2009. In addition, Post-Baccalaureate students are encouraged to attend our Wednesday noon research talks, formal lectures, the annual Department picnic, and weekly teas.
