Doctor's degree Classical Studies - Indiana University - Bloomington

Doctor's degree Classical Studies from Indiana University - Bloomington is a Campus Ph.D Classical Studies degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. The Department of Classical Studies at Indiana University offers graduate programs leading to the PhD degree . Students entering directly from A.B. programs will be expected to complete the M.A. requirements before proceeding to the PhD. These requirements can be fulfilled by examinations either in Greek or in Latin, but the PhD requires work in both languages. The department welcomes prospective M.A.T. students. Although the education component of this degree program along with secondary school certification is administered by the School of Education, students are enrolled in Classical Studies and participate in the same classes as other degree candidates. CURRICULUM: Our program offers classes in Greek and Latin on all levels as well as a variety of classes in archaeological and cultural studies topics. Some faculty specialties in the latter area are Roman topography and epigraphy, Roman law, ancient painting, bronze age Aegean archaeology. Our curriculum also includes both introductory and Medieval Latin. Surveys of Latin and Greek Literature, offered in alternate years, guide students in preparing for the PhD exams in these fields. Composition courses in the respective languages are offered concomitantly and expected for PhD students. All students planning to teach in secondary school are expected to enroll in Latin composition. An 8-week proseminar given in alternate years introduces students to research resources in Classical Studies and provides a glimpse of such ancillary disciplines as Latin paleography, epigraphy and numismatics. A course in Literary and Cultural Theory is required of PhD students. Proficiency requirements in Modern Languages can be fulfilled through summer classes offered by the relevant departments or by testing. The PhD minor, usually undertaken after the completion of at least one year's course work beyond the M.A., may provide amplified knowledge within related areas of classical study such as archaeology or history, or else expanded methodological awareness through exposure to other disciplines. Among the possible choices are Art History/ Archaeology, Comparative Literature, Folklore, History, Linguistics, Philosophy, Religious Studies , Theater and Drama and special inter-departmental minors in Ancient Studies, Medieval Studies and in Mythology.
