Philomeides Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Considering going to U of Arizona for its MA program, with an emphasis in Latin pedagogy. Any thoughts on Arizona's program for an aspiring high school Latin teacher? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veilside1 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I'm finishing up year two at Arizona now, and can offer some info for you. For at least the last 2-3 years every aspiring high school Latin teacher has secured a teaching position at private prep schools in the area (Scottsdale and Phoenix primarily). And if you end up changing your mind while here and decide to pursue a PhD, I can say that also for the last 2-3 years each and every student from here who applied to PhD programs have all gone to top programs. If you have any particular questions feel free to message me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philomeides Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share Posted April 1, 2012 Gratias, Veilside1! Glad to hear that Arizona serves its students well. What is your emphasis? I'm very excited at the prospect of going there, but a little nervous, since my offer letter states that my funding is contingent on the department's funding. I'm a little worried I'll get there and they'll take away the funding offer! Anyway, thanks for the response, and I might message you with more questions!

Veilside1 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 All of the letters say that at Arizona, I wouldn't read too much in to it. There has never been an unfunded MA student here. Ancient history emphasis, by the way. Sure, feel free to message me any time. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
