Professors
Courses
Classical studies is concerned with the cultures of ancient Greece and
Romeroughly from the time of Homer through the time of St. Augustinein
all of their aspects. This program thus offers undergraduates an opportunity
to study the cultures of Greece and Rome through the combined resources
of the Departments of History, Literature, Visual Arts, Theatre and Dance,
and Philosophy. The study of the ancient Greek and Latin languages themselves
serves as the starting point for the broader consideration of specific
texts in their literary, intellectual, and historical context. In cooperation
with the Judaic Studies Program, moreover, students are provided the opportunity
to link the study of ancient Greece and Rome to that of the ancient Near
East.
The Major Programs
The Classical Studies Program offers four different degree paths, three
within classical studies and one in cooperation with Judaic studies. The
majors are Greek, Latin, classics, and Greek and Hebrew. Each consists
of a choice of twelve upper-division courses approved for the program
and listed below. All courses used to meet requirements for a major in
classical studies must be taken for a letter grade and be passed with
a grade of C or better.
Greek
LTWL 19A-B-C are prerequisites to the Greek major. Six of the twelve
upper-division courses must be LTGK courses numbered 100 and above, but
exclusive of LTGK 101. The remaining six courses may be in classical
civilization
(in English translation), selected from the list of approved courses
from history, Lit/World, philosophy, political science, and visual arts,
though
additional LTGK courses numbered 100 and above (including LTGK 101) are
acceptable here. These must be from at least two departments and selected
in consultation with the adviser; courses dealing with Greek civilization
are strongly preferred.
Latin
LTWL 19A-B-C are prerequisites to the Latin major. Six of the twelve
upper-division courses must be LTLA courses numbered 100 and above,
but
exclusive of LTLA 101 and 102. The remaining six courses may be in classical
civilization (in English translation), selected from the list of approved
courses from history, Lit/World, philosophy, political science, and visual
arts, though additional LTLA courses numbered 100 and above (including
LTLA 101 and 102) are acceptable here. These must be from at least two
departments and selected in consultation with the adviser; courses dealing
with Roman civilization are strongly preferred.
Classics
LTWL 19A-B-C are prerequisites to the classics major. Nine of the twelve
upper-division courses must be distributed between LTLA and LTGK courses
numbered 100 and above (but exclusive of LTLA 101 and 102 and LTGK 101),
six in one literature and three in the other according to the students
emphasis. The remaining three courses may be in classical civilization
(in English translation), selected from the list of approved courses
from history, Lit/World, philosophy, political science, and visual arts,
though
additional LTLA or LTGK courses numbered 100 and above (including LTLA
101 and 102 and LTGK 101) are acceptable here. These must be from at
least
two departments and selected in consultation with the adviser to reflect
the relative emphasis upon the Greek and Latin literatures, but with
at
least one focusing upon each culture.
Greek and Hebrew
Three courses from LTWL 19A-B-C and Cultural Traditions, Judaic 1A-B,
to be selected in consultation with the adviser, are prerequisites to
the Greek and Hebrew major. Nine of the twelve upper-division courses
must be distributed between LTGK courses numbered 100 and above (but
exclusive
of LTGK 101) and Judaic Studies 101-102-103 or LTNE courses numbered
100 through 112, six in one literature and three in the other according
to
the students emphasis. The remaining three courses may be in ancient
Greek and Judaic civilization (in English translation), selected from
the list of courses approved for classical studies and from the list
of courses approved for Judaic studies, though additional LTGK courses
numbered
100 and above (including LTGK 101) or Judaic Studies 101-102-103 or LTNE
courses numbered 100 through 112 are acceptable here. These must be
from
at least two departments and selected in consultation with the adviser
(who is selected in accordance with the students emphasis) to
reflect the relative emphasis upon the Greek and Hebrew literatures,
but with
at least one course from each program.
The Minor Programs
Classical Studies:
A minor in classical studies consists of seven courses from those listed
below, of which at least four must be upper-division. A knowledge of the
ancient languages is not required. The minor will normally include LTWL
19A-B-C: the Greco-Roman World, and four other courses from the participating
departments.
Greek:
See Literature: The Minor in Literature
Latin:
See Literature: The Minor in Literature
Warren College
A Warren College program of concentration in classical studies normally
consists of LTWL 19A-B-C and three of the upper-division courses listed
below.
Graduate courses may be taken by undergraduates with consent of the instructor.
The faculty of the program welcomes qualified undergraduates in graduate
courses.
Additional courses counting toward a major in classical studies are offered
on a year-to-year basis, both at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
As these often cannot be listed in advance, interested students should
consult the program faculty for an up-to-date list.
Honors in Greek, Latin, and Classics
Honors is intended for the most talented and motivated students majoring
in Greek, Latin, classics, or Greek and Hebrew. Requirements for admission
to the honors program are:
- Junior standing
- An overall GPA of 3.5
- A GPA in the major of 3.7
Qualified students majoring in Greek, Latin, or classics may apply at
the end of their junior year to the program faculty on the basis of 1)
a thesis proposal (three to four pages) worked out in advance with a classical
studies faculty member and 2) a recommendation from that faculty member.
It is strongly advised that the proposal be based upon a class paper or
project from a course taken towards completion of the major.
The core of the honors program is an honors thesis. The research and
writing of the thesis will be conducted over the winter or fall and winter
terms of the senior year. Up to four hours of 196 credit to this end may
be counted towards the major in place of one of the courses in English
translation. A thesis completed by the end of the winter quarter of the
senior year will be read and evaluated by the thesis adviser and another
member of the program faculty. If the thesis is accepted and the student
maintains a 3.7 GPA, departmental honors will be awarded. The level of
honorsdistinction, high distinction, or highest distinctionwill
be determined by the program faculty.
Students choosing a major in Greek and Hebrew may complete an honors
major as follows: those with an emphasis on Greek must meet the requirements
for honors in the Classical Studies Program and work with a thesis adviser
from classical studies, but select a second adviser for the thesis from
Judaic studies. Those with an emphasis on Hebrew must meet the requirements
for honors in the Judaic Studies Program and work with a thesis adviser
from Judaic studies, but select a second adviser for the thesis from classical
studies.
The University of California Tri-Campus Graduate
Program in Classics
UC Tri-campus Graduate Classics Program Faculty
UC Tri-campus Graduate Program in Classics
Courses
UC Irvine, UC Riverside, and UCSD
What is the UC Tri-Campus Program? This graduate program joins
together into a single faculty more than twenty experts in classics and
related disciplines from the three southernmost University of California
campuses (Irvine, Riverside, and San Diego). It features an innovative
curriculum and program of study that address the practical and theoretical
questions confronting the humanities and classics in particular as both
enter the twenty-first century.
What are the Programs Goals? The aim of the Tri-Campus Program
is to provide an educational environment for pursuing a graduate career
in classics that is closely integrated into the main currents of humanistic
and social scientific scholarship. The programs faculty recognizes
that today and in the future teachers of the classics must possess and
develop expertise beyond the standard specialties of the traditional classics
Ph.D. degree. Classics programs, in both large research universities and
small liberal arts colleges, increasingly feel the pressure to break down
the boundaries between disciplines.
To achieve these goals, the program and curriculum are designed around
five principles:
- Study the ancient texts and objects in their wider social, cultural,
and historical contexts.
- Bring the culture of the ancient Greeks and Romans into the purview
of contemporary literary and sociological theory.
- Examine the reception of ancient literature and culture by later
cultures and the appropriation of the ancient world by the modern world.
- Pay particular attention to the intersections of Greek and Roman
society and culture with each other and with the other cultures of the
ancient world.
- Utilize to the fullest the potential of new computing technologies
as tools for research and teaching.
These five interdisciplinary principles are embodied in the four Core
Courses (Classics 200A, 200B, 200C, and 201). Graduate seminars (Classics
220) and reading courses in Greek and Latin authors (Classics 205) round
out the program of studies. This curriculum has been in effect at Irvine
since 1995, taught by faculty members from all three campuses.
Where do I apply? The Tri-Campus Program uniquely does not belong
to a particular campus but to the University of California. Students who
are accepted into the program may enroll at any of the three campuses.
Because instruction and administrative functions take place on the Irvine
campus, students will normally enroll at Irvine. Applications to the Tri-Campus
Graduate Program will be reviewed by an admissions committee composed
of members from all three campuses.
Where is the Tri-Campus Program located? UC Irvine is located
five miles inland from the Pacific Ocean, fifty miles south of metropolitan
Los Angeles, forty-five miles southwest of UC Riverside and seventy-four
miles north of UCSD. In addition to its beaches, mountains, and deserts,
Southern California offers excellent cultural amenities such as museums,
theater, dance, opera, and music.
What are the requirements for admission? Applicants to the program
should have a B.A. or equivalent in classics or classical civilization,
which normally means that you have had at least three years of one classical
language and two of the other. Majors in other disciplines (e.g., comparative
literature, history, philosophy, or interdisciplinary fields such as womens
studies) are welcome, provided they have sufficient background in Greek
and Latin. All applicants must submit Graduate Record Exam (GRE) scores
and must have a minimum GPA of 3.0 or the equivalent. If you have completed
an M.A. in classics at another institution, you may be admitted with advanced
standing and may have the course requirements reduced from the normal
three years to two or one. The level of course reduction will be determined
by progress evaluation exams administered in the spring quarter of each
year.
The Role of the Joint Executive Committee
The Tri-Campus Program is administered by a joint executive committee
(JEC), which consists of six representatives, two from each campus,
serving staggered, two-year terms. The JEC’s responsibilities
include: reviewing graduate applications and admitting students to
the program;
overseeing the formation of examination and dissertation committees;
reviewing and deciding on student petitions; making policy decisions
concerning the program, including changes in the program’s
requirements and procedures; and interpreting the program’s
requirements and procedures. The JEC elects from its members a chair
to serve a three-year
term. It is the chair’s responsibility to manage budgetary
issues, schedule and set the agenda for quarterly JEC meetings, identify
faculty
to teach graduate courses, and generally look after the smooth operation
of the program.
The Role of the Graduate Adviser
The graduate adviser is a faculty member
responsible for supervising graduate study in the department and monitoring
the academic progress
of graduate students. The graduate adviser coordinates the various
elements of the academic program and advises students and other
faculty members
about program requirements and university policies. The graduate
adviser keeps records for each student and for the whole program,
ensures that
each student meets all requirements and makes satisfactory progress
toward attainment of the degree, and is instrumental in the nomination
of students
for fellowship support and assistantship appointments. The graduate
adviser also provides general help to students as they attempt
to negotiate the
academic and administrative hurdles on their way to completion
of their degrees. The graduate adviser is an ex-officio member
of the
Tri-Campus
JEC for the duration of his or her tenure, normally two years.
Election
of Student Representative
Graduate students elect a representative who
attends JEC meetings as a regular voting member. Graduate students
are also invited
to attend
meetings as observers and to participate where appropriate.
The voting rights and attendance of the graduate student representative
are
circumscribed by the requirements of confidentiality.
The
Ph.D. and the M.A. Programs
A student’s career may be thought
of as covering three stages: course work, preparation for qualifying
exams, and candidacy (dissertation).
For Ph. D. students the normative limits for completion
of the program are four years to advancement to candidacy, two years
to final approval
of the dissertation, and a maximum of seven years in total.
Students are only admitted into the Ph.D. program. Entering students
who do not
already hold a master's degree in Classics from another
institution will be required to complete M.A. requirements while pursuing
the Ph.D.
Course Work For the M.A.
The M.A. degree in classics may be
awarded either upon completing the Ph.D. course requirements and passing
the written Ph.D.
examinations or upon completing the M.A. course requirements
and master’s paper
and passing the M.A. translation examinations and
general exam. The latter path to the M.A. is intended
for Ph.D.
students who decide to leave the
program before completing the requirements for a
Ph.D.
M.A. students must successfully complete a minimum
of twelve approved, seminar-level courses. The twelve
courses
must
be distributed as
follows:
- Nine quarters of Classics 220.
- At least three quarters of Classics 200A-B-C and 201; a fourth quarter
may be substituted for a Classics 220.
- Up to one quarter of Classics 290 for research and writing of the
master’s
paper may be substituted for a Classics 220.
- If remedial work is required in Greek or Latin, with the graduate
adviser’s
approval, one enhanced upper-division Greek or
Latin course enrolled as a Classics 280 may be substituted for a Classics
220.
- With the graduate adviser’s approval, M.A. students may substitute
one external graduate seminar in a relevant area
outside of classics (at any of the three participating campuses) for
a Classics 220.

Course Work for the Ph.D.
Ph.D. students must successfully complete a
minimum of eighteen approved, seminar-level courses.
The eighteen courses must
be distributed as
follows:
- Four quarters of Classics 200A-B-C, and 201.
- Twelve quarters of Classics
220.
- Two external graduate seminars, from departments or programs outside
of classics. These may be taken from
the offerings of any of the three campuses.
- Students may take up to two quarters
of enhanced upper-division Greek or Latin courses (enrolled as 280s)
in
place of Classics 220s, with permission of the graduate adviser if remedial
work is
required in Greek or Latin.
- Where appropriate, in the third year of course
work, a second Classics 200A, B, or C, may be substituted for
a 220
- Classics 280, Independent Study (supervised research) may be substituted
for Classics 220s only with the permission
of the graduate adviser.
- Up to twelve equivalent graduate-level courses
completed elsewhere may be substituted for Tri-Campus Program
courses with approval of the JEC.
Classics 280 may be used, normally in the
fourth year, to provide time to work on
the Greek and Latin reading
lists
and to prepare
for qualifying
exams, but these courses do not
count towards the required eighteen courses. Ph.D. students
must
meet with the
graduate adviser early
every fall quarter
to discuss their progress through
the curriculum and their plans for the coming academic
year. A student who accumulates
more
than one outstanding
grade of incomplete is considered
to be at risk.
Faculty teaching graduate courses will submit
to the graduate adviser for student
files a brief written evaluation for
each student,
commenting on the student’s
performance and noting whether
the student wrote a seminar paper
for the course. The graduate
adviser will lead the JEC
in an annual review of all active
graduate students in the program
at the JEC’s spring meeting.

Examinations
Diagnostic Exams: Immediately
upon entering the program,
the student
takes diagnostic
translation
examinations
in both Greek
and Latin
to establish his or her level
of competency and to determine
where
effort
should be directed. In the
second year of course work, students
will take
as diagnostic exams
the Latin and
Greek translation
exams administered
as part of the qualifying
exam battery.
Exams for the M.A.
- Foreign Language Requirement: Students must demonstrate
reading knowledge
of German, French,
Italian, or
an equivalent research
language either
through appropriate course
work or by examination.
- Translation Exams: Each student must pass a set
of translation
examinations in Greek
and in
Latin
administered by the
master’s committee
(two hours each).
The JEC
in consultation with the
graduate adviser
and
the student
recommends
to the graduate
dean a three-member
master’s committee
composed of program faculty
from at least two campuses
to set and evaluate the
translation exams and to
evaluate the master’s
paper. Normally this committee
is established in the quarter
preceding completion of
the master’s paper.
Exams
for the Ph.D.
- Foreign Language
Requirements: Ph.D. students must demonstrate
reading proficiency
in one
modern research
language (normally
German and French
or Italian) by the end
of their second year
either through
appropriate course
work or
by examination.
Proficiency
in a second modern
research language is
expected by the end of the third
year.
- Ph.D. Qualifying
Exams: In order to advance to
candidacy for the
Ph.D. and
enter the
dissertation stage,
a student must pass
a set
of seven
qualifying exams.
The translation exams,
history exams, and
history of the literatures
exam
are administered
and evaluated
on a regular
schedule
over the academic
year by examination
boards composed of
one faculty member from each
campus and appointed
for that
purpose
by the JEC
at the graduate adviser’s
recommendation. The
JEC, in consultation
with
the graduate
adviser and the student,
recommends to the
graduate dean a five-member
candidacy
committee composed
of four program faculty
(from at least two
campuses) and
one outside member
holding tenure
on
one of the participating
campuses (i.e., not
a member of the program
faculty) to
organize
and administer the
special-area
exam and the oral
exam taken by the
candidate after successful
completion
of the other exams.
All committee members
for
both candidacy
and doctoral committees
should normally be
voting members of
the Academic
Senate of the Irvine,
Riverside, or San
Diego divisions.
Any exceptions must
hold a Ph.D., be
qualified
for a UC faculty
appointment, and
be supported by a
memo of justification
and a CV submitted
by
the graduate adviser
to the graduate
dean for approval
at least two weeks
prior to an exam.
The qualifying
examinations include
written examinations
and a final
oral examination:
a. Greek
and Latin translation
(three hours each)
b. Greek
and Roman history (two hours each)
c. History of Greek and
Roman literature
(three hours)
d. A "special area" that
can be fulfilled
by either an extensive research paper
or a
three-hour written
exam
e. Oral examination
to be administered
by
the candidacy
committee
and taken only
after
the other exams
have been passed
(two hours: one
hour general
knowledge and one
hour special-area
exam paper
or research paper)
These
exams are based on the Tri-Campus
Reading Lists and
should be completed
by the end
of the fourth
year. The
exams on Greek
and Roman
history are
based on up to
six books each, three
prescribed
on the reading
list for
this exam and up
to three agreed
to
by the student
and graduate
adviser.
The exam on the
history of Greek and Roman
literature
is based
on the Greek
and Latin
Reading Lists
and the books
prescribed
on the
reading
list for this exam.
Students are expected
to read,
in
the original,
all works
on the Greek
and Latin
Reading Lists,
whether or
not they have
appeared in courses.
(Students may negotiate
with the
graduate
adviser
substitutions
on the Greek
and Latin
Reading Lists
comprising up
to twenty percent
of their total
length in order to
accommodate the
particular interests of the
individual
student.)
Upon successful
completion of the written examinations
the
oral exam
will be scheduled.
Students failing
segments of the
qualifying exams
may normally retake
those sections
only once after
the interval
of one quarter
or the summer break,
as the
case
may be. Students
may
retake segments
of the qualifying
exams more
than once only
at the
discretion of
the JEC. A grade
of "pass" in
all examinations
is required for
admission to candidacy.
Thesis
and Defense for
the M.A.
The master’s
paper comprises
a substantial piece
of original research.
It should exceed
the breadth and
depth expected
for a seminar paper,
which can provide
a good foundation
for the master’s
paper. The master’s
paper must be submitted
to members of the
master’s
committee three
weeks in advance
of the general
exam.
If the master’s paper is found to be of passing quality by
the committee, the student may take the general exam, a one-hour
oral exam
covering the broader
implications of the master’s
paper and the classical
world generally.
Thesis
and Defense for the Ph.D.
When the student
has advanced to
candidacy, the
JEC—in consultation
with the candidate,
the graduate adviser,
and the proposed
chair of the doctoral
committee—will
recommend to the
Dean of the Graduate
Division a doctoral
committee composed
of at
least three program
faculty (from
at least two of
the three campuses)
and one outside
member who holds
tenure at
one of the
participating campuses.
The doctoral committee
will
serve as the examination
committee for the
thesis defense.
Within the first
quarter after
completion of the
qualifying
exams and all other
prerequisites,
the candidate will
submit a dissertation
proposal for discussion
and
evaluation
to the doctoral
committee.
A public
oral defense of
the dissertation
will be
scheduled
upon its submission
to the doctoral
committee.
Members
of the committee
must
be supplied with
a copy of the dissertation
at
least
three weeks
before the exam
date.
The Emphasis
in Comparative Literature
Course Work
For the emphasis
in comparative
literature,
students must take at
least five graduate courses
in
the Department of
English
and Comparative
Literature.
One course should
be Criticism
222A or
C, or Comparative
Literature
200. At
least three
of the
courses should
have a
Comparative Literature designation.
One of
the courses
could be Humanities
270 (Critical
Theory). Classics
students can
devote the
required outside
seminars to
this emphasis and may,
with the graduate
adviser’s approval, make
appropriate substitutions of
courses.
Qualifying Exams
One topic on the Ph.D. qualifying
examination
must be on a comparative literature
topic and
should be prepared
with
a
professor
from the Comparative
Literature Program who would
serve as a member of
the student’s
exam committee.
The student
should be
able to demonstrate
some expertise
in comparative
critical
methodologies
as well as
knowledge
of a literature
and tradition
other than
classics.
Normally
classics
students
will fulfill
this requirement
by selecting
the research-paper
option for
the oral-exam
stage of
the qualifying
examinations.
Dissertation
One member
of the student’s
doctoral
committee
must be from
the Program
in Comparative
Literature.
Students
must submit
an application
for the emphasis to the graduate
adviser in classics , and the
department
will track
the students’ progress
and fulfillment
of the emphasis
requirements.
Upon graduation,
students
will receive
a letter
from the
graduate
adviser
certifying
completion
of the emphasis.
Attendance
at Colloquia
and
other Departmental
Activities
Seminars,
colloquia,
and other
activities
of interest
to classics
graduate
students
are organized
regularly
by the
Tri-Campus
Graduate
Program.
Since these
activities
are considered
part of the
student’s
professional
training,
all students
are required
to
attend
them. Students
are also
urged to
acquaint
themselves
with
colloquia
offered in
other fields.
Support
for Graduate
Students
A
variety of fellowships
and teaching
assistantships
is
available
to
classics
graduate
students
on
a
competitive
basis.
They include
Chancellor's
Fellowships,
Regents'
Fellowships,
and Dissertation
Fellowships,
as well
as the Thesaurus
Linguae
Graecae Fellowship.
Several
teaching
and research
assistantships
are also
available,
and provide
a stipend
in addition
to tuition
and fees.
Some fourth-
and fifth-year
teaching
assistantships
are held
at
UC Riverside
and
UCSD. Continuation
of support
is contingent
upon satisfactory
academic
progress.
Support
from various sources
is
normally
extended
to
students
in good
standing for up to
six years.
Resources of the Tri-Campus Program
The Department of Classics
at UC Irvine, which is the administrative center of the Tri-Campus Program,
is housed in pleasant quarters in Humanities Office Building 2. Tri-Campus
graduate students avail themselves of
- Superior library holdings in classics and related fields in the combined
collections of all nine University of California research libraries,
accessed to the holdings of the California Digital Library, and expeditious
Interlibrary Loan Services with other U.S. And international libraries.
- The facilities of the Thesaurus Linguae Graecae Project (TLG) at
UC Irvine, including the complete TLG data bank, the Classics/TLG Computing
Lab, and the large collection of primary texts, commentaries, and reference
materials housed in the TLGs Marianne Eirene McDonald Library.
Formal (Classics 201) and informal instruction in computer-related methodologies
for research and teaching are conducted at the Classics/TLG Computing

- Seminars, colloquia, and lectures regularly offered by the Critical
Theory Institute at UC Irvine and by the University of California Humanities
Research Institute that is housed on the UC Irvine campus. Tri-Campus
doctoral students may add an emphasis in critical theory under the supervision
of the Committee on Critical Theory. The Tri-Campus Program also has
its own colloquia series of lectures by visiting scholars on the three
campuses.
- The Southern California Graduate Resource-Sharing Consortium, a cooperative
association of the Tri-Campus Program and the graduate classics programs
of UCLA and the University of Southern California. Every year a faculty
member from each of these units offers a graduate seminar in his or
her area of expertise at one of the other units. In the spring of every
year faculty and graduate students conjoin at an annual consortium luncheon
and lecture by a distinguished visiting scholar.
