Classics
Offers Certificate
Our own department offers a Certificate in Classics to UCLA graduate students from other programs who wish to formalize their work. In order to obtain a certificate, a student must meet a minimum of 6 courses that are structured as follows:
- Three courses chosen from the following, split between Greek and Latin (i.e., 2 Greek/1 Latin, or 2 Latin/1 Greek): Greek 200A/B/C and Latin 200A/B/C.
- Greek 210 or Latin 210
- Two graduate seminar courses in Classical literature or culture (including, with the approval of the Graduate Advisor, the possibility of one graduate seminar in a related department or program, such as Art History, Archaeology, History, Philosophy).Note: Graduate seminars that fulfill a requirement in the student’s home graduate program cannot be counted (e.g., Greek 240 for students in IE Studies, if Greek 240 is used to fulfill the Greek Qualifying Exam requirement in IE Studies). All elective choices are subject to the approval of the Classics Graduate Advisor (in consultation with the Graduate Advisor of the student’s home department or program). Students should also pass two Greek and two Latin survey courses with a grade of B or better on both sections of the exam and a B+ in the overall course.
