Classics

Thank you for your interest in the Master of Arts in Classics. The program has been placed on hiatus and will not be accepting applications at this time.

The cornerstone of western literary, cultural and intellectual traditions, classics have always been vital to a Fordham education. As a member of our graduate program, you'll join a robust community of scholars, have access to the wealth of resources that New York City has to offer, and gain a deep understanding of the fields and trends in classical studies.

Our program offers a broad range of courses in the languages, literature, and history of Greece and Rome, as well as the Middle Ages. Many of our students who have completed the master's program move on to the doctoral program. They also go on to have careers in teaching, grant writing, museum studies, libraries, non-profit administration, the digital humanities, and other related fields.
