About PhD Program,
The Program in Classics offers an M.A. in Greek and Latin with a thesis and non-thesis option, and an MAT in Latin in conjunction with the College of Education. We usually enroll 3-4 new students each year and typically are able to offer some assistance to the most qualified applicants in the form of a Graduate Teaching Assistantship and/or through the program’s Prindle-Myrick-Kidder scholarship.
Classics applicants have also fared well in the competition for graduate fellowships from the College of Arts and Sciences. Our program is strongly philological and geared toward students who want excellent preparation in Greek and Latin language and in the craft of scholarship.
PhD Program Degree Eligibility with GPA,
To be eligible for admission to any program, applicants must hold a U.S. baccalaureate degree from an accredited institution or an equivalent degree from an accredited/recognized foreign institution prior to the date of graduate enrollment at the University of Vermont. Individual degree programs may have additional requirements as described within the UVM Graduate Catalogue and under Programs and Degrees. Many departments and programs provide opportunities for selected current UVM undergraduates to participate in Accelerated Master’s Pathway.
Applicants to UVM graduate programs are expected to be fluent in English; instruction at the University of Vermont is conducted in English. There is no intensive English as a Second Language program at the university, although limited instruction is available to enhance speaking fluency in English.
PhD Funding Coverage,
Master’s students in certain programs may also have access to graduate assistantships.
These positions are open to both domestic and international, full-time students and generally offer tuition support from the University.*
