In addition to the University's minimum requirements and those listed above, all applicants are expected to submit a statement of purpose, a writing sample (research paper), and the Classics supplementary information form. Applicants should hold a UCLA B.A. degree or the equivalent degree from another university, preferably with a major in Classics, Greek or Latin, and a grade-point average of at least 3.0 in the major. M.A.: The department does not admit students whose final degree objective is the master's degree. The program that leads to an M.A. in Classics is considered the first step toward the Ph.D. in Classics. The M.A. in Greek or Latin may be awarded to students whose academic goals shift during the course of graduate study. Ph.D.: A UCLA M.A. degree in Classics with a comprehensive examination grade of B+ or better, or an equivalent degree from another university is required. While there is no minimum required score, the GRE is used as a criterion in most cases. |
