Overview

As a student in the Classics with Teaching Licensure program of Tufts University you will expand your knowledge of languages, history, and archaeology, as well as gain extensive research experience in classical studies. Graduates go on to pursue careers in secondary school education with Massachusetts licensure (grades 5-12) and pursue further study in PhD programs.

Students typically complete the program in two or three years, and benefit from supervised teaching experience offered through the Education Department at Tufts. The program follows Massachusetts requirements for initial teaching licensure.

Program Requirements and Policies

Candidates must successfully complete six graduate courses in Classical Studies and seven in Education. Candidates will usually have completed the equivalent of an undergraduate Latin or Greek major. If not, additional courses will be required.

Reading knowledge of Latin or Greek and one modern foreign language (usually German or French) is tested by examination.

To demonstrate research and presentation, the candidate may submit for evaluation by a Classical Studies faculty committee either two qualifying papers (written for courses at Tufts and revised as necessary after completion of the course) or a thesis. The thesis normally counts as two of the required six Classical Studies courses. Students usually find that writing a thesis takes a full term of uninterrupted work. An oral examination based on the qualifying papers or thesis is required.

A comprehensive written examination integrating course work with knowledge of the reading lists in Greek and Latin literature is required.
