[DELETE] PhD Program in Ancient Greek and Roman Philosophy

Our PhD Program in Ancient Greek and Roman Philosophy (PAGRP) provides students with the interdisciplinary training that is necessary for the study of ancient Greek and Roman philosophy. Scholars must be able to situate philosophical texts in their broader cultural context and be alive to the way a text engages with and contributes to its philosophical tradition. Academics in the field must be able to communicate effectively with both scholars trained in classics and those trained in philosophy. Students in PAGRP will acquire all these skills during the course of the degree.

Students in PAGRP will be enrolled through either the Department of Classics or the Department of Philosophy, but faculty of both departments are committed to training all students in the program. One of the key strengths of the program is that students in Classics and in Philosophy will developed a working relationship with each other through seminars and workshops.

PAGRP students, by the time they advance to candidacy, will have taken surveys of both Greek and Latin literature, received instruction in both Greek and Latin prose composition, written numerous seminar papers, extended their training into philosophy outside classical antiquity, and demonstrated competency in both French and German.

PAGRP students will participate in the Ancient Greek and Roman Philosophy Workshop throughout their enrollment in the program, as well as other workshops.

A typical PAGRP student might progress through the program in the following manner:

Year 1	Take nine courses, including: Survey of Greek or Latin literature Prose composition in Greek or Latin One non-classical course in the Philosophy Department Pass translation exam in language of survey Submit two seminar research papers to the Department Demonstrate competence in French or German
