Program details
Overview
The PhD in Classics at Western University leads to a major, original research project on a topic in the literatures, history, and material cultures of ancient Greece and Rome. Full-time, thesis-based study is completed over 12 terms (approximately four years). Students progress through several milestone examinations, including Greek and Latin translation exams, a modern-language reading-knowledge requirement, comprehensive examinations, and a special field examination, before advancing to dissertation research. Admission normally requires an MA in Classics with a GPA of at least 80% and substantial training in ancient Greek or Latin, normally five years of one language and four years of the other; direct entry to the PhD from a Bachelor's degree is considered only in exceptional cases at departmental discretion. The application deadline is January 15, with acceptance notification by February 15. The program prepares graduates for research and teaching careers in Classical studies.
