To be considered, your application must be fully completed.

The graduate program online application form is where you will upload:

• A statement of purpose: a rationalized explanation of your interests in Classical Studies and your short-and long-term goals.
• Three letters of recommendation from faculty who know you well.
• Writing sample: this is about 10 pages of connected prose. You may send a favorite term paper, a chapter of a senior honors paper or Master’s thesis, a professional presentation, or published article.
• Supporting documentation.

In addition we require the following documents be sent to the department directly from their institutions of origin:

• One original transcript from each university program you have been enrolled in (even if these were non-degree programs).
• GRE scores are NOT required.

The online application fee must be paid via credit card. Domestic students who use the paper application may pay the application fee using a check, money order, or cash only. Applications will not be reviewed until the fee is paid.
