Does anyone know anything about the University of Vermont's Classics Program?

I don't have many specifics, but I'm told by the UVM Director of Graduate Studies that the program is very small--as in, no more than 2-3 MA students per year, plus the occasional MAT or certificate student.

I'm sorry I can't be of more help!

Edit: Forgot to mention--if you're looking at UVM for its MAT program, the Director mentioned that the limit on MAT students is one imposed by the School of Education, due to the difficulty of placing such a student in a local school for his or her practicum. I'm not certain if this indicates a shortage of primary/secondary schools offering Latin in the state as a whole, but it at the very least it's something to keep in mind.

I've heard really good things about UVM's MA!

I've heard mixed reviews, but how you fit into a department does have a lot to do with personality. If the program sounds like it can meet your expectations, it's certainly worth applying, but if you're accepted, I would recommend visiting if possible.

I happened to see this by chance. Are you still seeking information? 

 

I grew up in the Green Mountain State, and I know someone who recently studied classics at UVM.

Professor Chiu at UVM is an incredible mentor, scholar, and teacher -- and has an incredible sense of humor to boot.  Ever heard of Classics Ryan Gosling? She's the mastermind behind it.
