Doctor's degree Classical Languages and Civilization - Fordham University

Doctor's degree Classical Languages and Civilization from Fordham University is a Campus Ph.D Classical Studies degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. The Department offers a broad range of courses in the languages, literatures, and history of Greece and Rome, and in the literature of the mediaeval period. It is also a member of a Graduate Classics Consortium with the City University of New York (CUNY) and New York University (NYU) in which each institution offers a number of graduate courses each semester. This arrangement enables Fordham graduate students to choose from a wide variety of course offerings each semester, use the libraries of the other universities, and consult with their faculty. For the Ph.D. in classical philology, 10 courses beyond the M.A. requirement must be successfully completed, of which at least four must be graduate-level courses in Greek authors. Graduate courses in both Greek and Latin composition are required. Competency in a second modern language must be demonstrated; one of these languages must be German. After completing all course work, the student must pass comprehensive examinations in Greek and Latin translation and the history of Greek and Latin literature, as well as two special areas. The special areas are normally a Latin and Greek author, but one area may be a topic in ancient art, archaeology, history or other pertinent field. Reading lists for the comprehensive examinations provide for a Greek major/Latin minor or a Latin major/Greek minor. Following the doctoral comprehensives, students devote themselves to the writing of the dissertation. For the Ph.D. in mediaeval Latin, the student must pass comprehensive examinations in classical Latin and mediaeval Latin translation, history of literature, and special areas. The dissertation will treat some aspect of mediaeval Latin literature or the transmission of classical Latin literature in the Middle Ages. Other requirements are the same for the Ph.D. in classical philology, except that only Latin composition and only two graduate-level Greek courses are required.
