Master & PhD Scholarships, University of Florida, U.S.A. (2019)

The University of Florida’s graduate program in Classics offers a traditional course of study in Greek and Latin language and literature that prepares students for careers in research and teaching at colleges and universities and for careers outside of academia.

Our interdisciplinary approach to the degree offers students opportunities to combine their interests in ancient philology with the study of related fields, such as medical humanities, digital humanities, and archaeology.
