Overview

In every era, UNC Classics PhDs have been known both for their excellent scholarship and their expertise in teaching Greek, Latin, and a wide range of courses beyond the ancient languages (see the paragraph on teacher training in the previous section).

Features

PhD graduates in Greek and Latin at University of North Carolina Chapel Hill have gone on to excellent positions in academia and beyond. UNC Classics PhDs hold high-profile positions in departments throughout the country.

Programme Structure

Curriculum:

Colleagues in English and Comparative Literature, History, Medieval and Early Modern Studies, Philosophy, Religious Studies, and Women’s Studies also contribute to the Department either by serving on dissertation committees or by offering courses of interest to Classics graduate students.

We have numerous ties with the strong Classics Department at Duke, with at least one co-taught graduate course, and students from each institution often take graduate classes (and find dissertation committee members) at the other.
