Notre Dame: new M.A. program in Classics

[Bill Lumberg]

This just in: I met in person with a Notre Dame Classics professor earlier this week, and the person told me that Notre Dame will be starting an MA program in Classics in the fall of 2011. Their Classics faculty seem fairly reputable, and they have some particularly well-known scholars such as Sabine MacCormack. The department also seems strong for those interested in studying Late Antiquity.

They're only going to offer an MA starting in 2011. I'm not sure when/if they will ever offer a Ph.D. The website is classics.nd.edu, which does not list the MA in Classics yet. I would check with that and perhaps email the DGS.

Sounds like a good MA program. I’m thinking they’ll have lots of crossover Patristics courses available.

If anyone is interested in the MA in Classics, feel free to message me. I'm in Early Christian Studies, which is run through the Classics dept (along with Theology). There will always be good Patristics courses offered as well as late ancient stuff. This semester I'm taking a course on Thucydides (a pretty standard Classics course) as well as a course on Cicero, Augustine, and Rhetoric (where else are you going to get that?!). It's really a great program with fantastic professors.
