So I've spent some time digging around and don't have a clue right now. My interests are in second temple Judaism/Early Christianity, but the problem is I discovered that interests quite late in my undergraduate career, so I have absolutely no knowledge on any of the languages. But I've taken about five or more courses on that topic. Still, I feel like it would simply be a waste of time to apply for phd right now.
I am starting one language course in my final year; developing a writing sample through independent research with my professor.
Can anyone recommend a MA program that offers funding that can at least cover up the tuition? I would greatly appreciate your help. I know the program at Norte Dame offers full funding, but how competitive can that program be?
