Master of Arts in Classics

San Francisco State University

The Master of Arts in Classics introduces students to advanced methodologies used in the study of the ancient languages, the interpretation of ancient texts, and the analysis of material culture. All graduate students must fulfill the same basic program requirements, but will, with the help of an advisor, tailor their coursework and schedule of exams in accordance with their career plans.
The graduate degree is of particular value for students who intend to pursue a doctoral degree in classics or who plan to teach at the high school or community college levels. Students with goals in other academic areas, including museum studies, history, philosophy, theology, modern languages or comparative literature, can also benefit from a master’s degree in classics.
