Hi, all. I just wanted to share that I received my first response from an MA application. Indiana accepted me for an MA with full-funding. I was prepared to be rejected by all programs, so I am surprised to hear that the first reply was an acceptance. I will add it to the results later today once my acceptance high wears off and lets me process everything.
I'd imagine anyone waiting to hear back about a PhD from Indiana would be hearing a decision now or soon.
I don't know where you are based, but I do know that many academic publishers offer internships. Off the top of my head, I recall Princeton, Oxford, and Cambridge offering internships (paid?) in the NYC area. I would think experience in academic publishing is probably more important than a PhD to obtain a job in academic publishing.
I think I have found every Classics MA currently offering funding in North America. They all specify having a minimum of three years in one language and two years in the other language. Tulane mentions having three years in one language, and one year in the other language, but there certainly are applicants with stronger language skills who probably receive those spots.
People in this forum will probably advise a formal post-bacc, but the post-bacc programs are rather expensive.
You could DM me if you want more info.
Hi there.
Current undergrad at Rutgers.
I think ideally that track would have you take more ancient history seminars than the regular Classics track would have you take. However, the department’s graduate offerings are small. I do not think they would offer enough history seminars to complete the history track. I think the track is still on the books, but the current offerings are geard toward the regular Classics track focussing on Greek and Latin. You could email the graduate director, Tim Power. He certainly would know more.
