GRE score submission is optional
Applicants to any of the graduate programs need a Bachelor of Arts degree from an accredited college. An undergraduate major in Classics, Classical Studies, Greek or Latin, Ancient History, or Archaeology or its equivalent is necessary for admission.

Without setting down hard and fast minimum requirements, the Classics Department will judge candidates partly on their competence in Classical Greek and Latin. At least two year's study in both languages is ordinarily required for students applying to the doctoral programs or to masters programs intended to lead to the doctorate. Undergraduate study of French and German is also strongly advised.

Graduate Record Examination (GRE) results are welcome, but not required.

Applicants should be able to engage successfully in graduate study, to teach and/or carry out related professional activities, and to think critically and write persuasively on a subject or in a genre appropriate to the program to which they are seeking admission. (Letters of recommendation, especially those from academic faculty, should address these issues.)

Applicants should have professional goals and plans consistent with the programs of study available in the Department. (The applicant's statement of purpose and application should help to demonstrate this.)
